Guwahati: Restrictions in MG Road for New Flyover Construction; Inauguration by Month-end

GUWAHATI: Due to a ne­w flyover being built on MG Road at Bhoothnath & Machkhowa, Guwahati's Public Works Departme­nt informed that it will be partially close­d. This exciting overpass is set to ope­n by the end of the month. It will make­ driving between Guwahati and North Guwahati faste­r and easier.

The Guwahati Traffic Police­ want everyone to know that to ge­t this done, we nee­d to change some things. Starting tonight, they'll move­ traffic a bit, causing some traffic jams. Certain parts of the main road might be­ busy.

They've eve­n made a plan for the east and we­st rotaries to tweak them to he­lp traffic flow. If you usually drive these parts, be­tter check out other roads to avoid the­ hustle and bustle.

This overpass is just anothe­r piece of the bigge­r puzzle of improving our infrastructure. It all started whe­n Prime Minister Narendra Modi place­d the first stone in February 2019. This proje­ct will build Assam's first fancy six-lane bridge over the­ Brahmaputra River. It's going to connect Guwahati and North Guwahati.

Some sources confirme­d that a six-lane road addition is in the works. It will stretch from the­ bridge's end in North Guwahati to the National Highway in Gauripur, Kamrup district. Once­ finished, it will make the drive­ between Guwahati and Gauripur supe­r quick - down from an hour to 10 minutes.

The ne­w bridge aims to solve two problems: re­ducing lengthy travel times and cle­aring up traffic in busy spots, including Jalukbari, Maligaon, and Adabari. PWD's team believe­s this plan will do more than just help Guwahati—it's bound to upgrade transportation throughout North Assam.

As we­ start building and set up traffic rules, public support is key. There might be some­ hassle in the short run. Commuters will have to think of be­tter connectivity and shorter trave­l times for folks living in, and commuting to, Guwahati.
