The highway is situated along
the Silchar -Valrengte – Sairang road in the Aizawl and Kolasib districts in
Mizoram.
In a social media post, the
minister said this 24.41 km project will be executed under the Engineering,
Procurement, and Construction (EPC) mode as part of National Highway (Original)
– North East (NH(O)-NE) project.
Gadkari said the
envisioned road infrastructure aims to facilitate uninterrupted traffic flow
circumventing interference from local traffic in developed areas. This initiative
seeks to alleviate congestion in the urban zones, thereby augmenting road
safety within these built-up areas. The minister said the strategic project
also endeavors to sidestep heavily populated areas, diminish congestion, and
heighten road safety within the city of Aizawl. Additionally, it aspires to
curtail the length of the existing National Highway by 25 kilometers, from
Vairengte to Sairang, he added.
