India's first underwater road tunnel beneath the Brahmaputra, connecting Numaligarh and Gohpur, awaits cabinet approval with construction planned to start in 2026.
The 15.6-km twin-tube, 4-lane tunnel under the Brahmaputra will be built at an estimated cost of 6,000 crore. It enhances all-weather connectivity, boosts defence logistics near Arunachal Pradesh border, and stimulates economic growth in Northeast India. The project is backed by NHIDCL and BRO, with environmental clearances ensuring minimal impact on Kaziranga National Park. Construction is slated over five years following cabinet nod.
With cabinet approval imminent, this strategic tunnel promises a transformational leap in Northeast's infrastructure and security by 2031.
