The traffic movement on the Guwahati Bypass from Jalukbari to Basistha Chariali in Guwahati has eased to a large extent with the completion of four flyovers on this six-lane national highway that was four lanes earlier. Traffic movement on this national highway is going to be even smoother towards the end of 2024, when ten more flyovers in the stretch between Bongaigaon and Nagaon, a part of the East-West Corridor, will be completed.
The Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs, Ashok Singhal, hinted at the possibility of shifting the market out of the city as a part of a local area plan to decongest the city.
