GUWAHATI: The Centre today approved ten new flyover-and-road over-bridge projects worth Rs 738 crore on the national highways in Assam.

Union Road Transport and Highway Minister Nitin Gadkari informed Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of this in New Delhi. The Chief Minister met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and national BJP president JP Nadda.
