In December 2019, former Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal laid the foundation of the 1400-meter long T-shaped flyover.

According to government sources, the total project cost of the flyover is estimated at Rs. 127.20 crore. The flyover is expected to be the longest flyover in Guwahati.

However, the last flyover was constructed in Ganeshguri, an extension of the already existing flyover in the area. The flyover connects RG Baruah Road to Bishnu Rabha flyover, Ganeshguri. The 425.50 metre long flyover made at a cost of Rs 58.74 crores was inaugurated on October 21 last year. It was constructed within 19 months.

On the other hand, the right-side branch will start from the Dispur Supermarket junction to terminate before the traffic roundabout, also known as Golchakkar, at Last Gate.
