The Lok Nirman Bibhag, earlier known as PWD or Public Works Department is going to construct an 800-metre flyover at Sarabhati in Guwahati. The foundation stone of the project is slated to commence before the Assembly election-related ‘Model Code of Conduct’ comes into force.
The two-lane flyover will start a few meters before the Sarabhati Chariali up to a few meters beyond the B Barooah Cancer Institute. The entire project is estimated at a cost of Rs 148 crore.
Evaluation of the submitted tenders has been started by the government. Department sources say that the flyover will be completed within three years from the date of work order issued to the contractor.
