The highway project for the 13.4-km two-laning of Hayuliang-Hawai (Package-I) in Arunachal Pradesh with a total project cost of Rs 13.81 billion will be completed this year, Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said, adding that the project would significantly boost connectivity in Northeast India.

“Significant Boost to Connectivity in the North East! The project is for 13.4 Km 2-Lane Hayuliang-Hawai (Package-I) in Arunachal Pradesh with a total project cost of Rs. 138.13 Cr. will be completed this year. This stretch is located closely to the Indo-Myanmar Border and will give boost to socio-economic development in the region,” the minister said on Twitter.

Earlier, in December 2018, Gadkari had laid foundation stones for many national highway projects in Arunachal Pradesh. Officials said that these projects will transform the picture of states in the north eastern region of the country by way of development, job creation, tourism and employment.

Among others, these projects include two-laning of the 74.86 km Roing-Hunli Section of Hunli-Anini Road (NH-313); two-laning of the 11.31km Hayuliang-Hawai Road section of NH-113; and the 10.3 km Hunli-Anini section of NH-313.
