After nearly three years, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has awarded a major highway project with full private investment. The Guwahati Ring Road, worth ₹5,279 crore, is set to become a reality within the next four years.
A major highlight of the project is the construction of a significant bridge over the Brahmaputra River, connecting Kuruwa in Darrang district to Narengi in eastern Guwahati.
As per reports, the Assam government is eager for PM Modi to lay the foundation stone during his visit, which is on February 24. However, this has not been officially confirmed yet.
