Following the recent opening of the Shraddhanjali Flyover on Zoo Road in Guwahati on October 18, 2023, coinciding with the auspicious Maha Panchami, this announcement closely follows. The newly added flyover has already demonstrated its crucial role in alleviating traffic challenges within the city.
The push for enhanced infrastructure gained momentum with the opening of Maligaon’s ‘Nilachal Flyover’ on August 30, 2023.
In October 2022, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma formally inaugurated the Arya Nagar Flyover. With an estimated cost of around Rs 149.07 crore and spanning 790 metres, the Arya Nagar Flyover has played a crucial role in enhancing the area’s infrastructure.
