Shri Gadkari said, envisioned as a 4-lane with paved shoulders and access-controlled corridor, the project aims to provide enhanced highway connectivity to neighboring states, namely Meghalaya, Manipur, and Tripura via NH-37, NH-06, and NH-08. The Silchar-Churaibari corridor further strengthens international connectivity with Bangladesh via the ICP near Sutarkhandi, Assam, on NH-37. This road’s development will ensure seamless and secure traffic flow, fostering regional economic growth and facilitating international trade.
