Assam CM Himanta inaugurates flyover in Guwahati

From Our Special CorrespondentGUWAHATI, May 22: A flyover named after Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder, Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee, connecting Cycle Factory junction to Lal Ganesh Bazar here, was inaugurated by Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday evening.

“This flyover will reduce the travel time from Pragjyotishpur Medical College to NH 27 drastically and decongest one of Guwahati’s densely populated areas,” the chief minister said. “Built at a cost of over Rs 376 crore, the 2.8 km-long, three-lane flyover was completed in just 26 months against a 30-month deadline. The project is equipped with a modern “BUG” structure, service roads, drainage systems, connecting roads and parking facilities,” Sarma said.
