Guwahati, June 24: The Assam government is planning to significantly upgrade its road infrastructure with a network of expressways and high-speed corridors aimed at enabling travel across the state within a six-hour radius.
The initiative is part of a broader strategy to strengthen connectivity, reduce travel time and improve economic integration between key urban centres, industrial zones and rural regions.
Officials said the proposed corridors will be designed to support faster movement of goods and passengers, improving logistics efficiency and boosting regional development. The plan is also expected to enhance access to markets, healthcare, education and employment opportunities across the state.
The expressway network will focus on linking major growth hubs while integrating with national highways and existing transport infrastructure to ensure seamless connectivity.
Government authorities believe the project will play a crucial role in accelerating Assam’s economic growth by improving mobility, attracting investment and strengthening supply chain networks.
The high-speed corridors are also expected to support tourism development by making remote and scenic regions more accessible to travellers.
Further planning and phased implementation details are expected to be rolled out as part of the state’s long-term infrastructure development roadmap.
