Himanta Biswa Sarma, Chief Minister, Assam, adding another chapter towards the current State government's initiatives to transform Guwahati into the ‘Gateway to Southeast Asia’ and to ease the city's traffic congestion woes, laid the foundation stone for a four-lane elevated corridor. The flyover measuring 5,053.20 metres in length and at a minimum height of 5.70 metres will be built at a projected cost of `8.52 billion. The elevated corridor, to be the longest in the city on its completion, is scheduled to become operational by 2026.
