He underlined its strategic importance, noting that the project would significantly cut travel time and serve as a crucial lifeline for India\u2019s defence forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Gohpur\u2013Numaligarh rail-cum-road tunnel will cut travel time and serve as a strategic lifeline for our defence forces. Grateful to Adarniya Shri @narendramodi ji for this transformative gift to Assam,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cabinet Approval and Project Details<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The statements came after the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the construction of a 4-lane access-controlled greenfield corridor from Gohpur (NH-15) to Numaligarh (NH-715) in Assam. A key component of the project is a 15.79-km road-cum-rail tunnel beneath the Brahmaputra River.<\/p>\n<p>The ambitious corridor will be developed at a total capital cost of Rs 18,662 crore under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) mode.<\/p>\n<p>At present, connectivity between Gohpur and Numaligarh requires a detour of nearly 240 km via the Kaliabhambhora bridge near Silghat on NH-52, taking almost six hours and passing through ecologically sensitive and congested areas such as Kaziranga National Park and Biswanath town.<\/p>\n<p>Once completed, the new corridor will reduce the distance to about 34 km, cutting travel time dramatically to around 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Act East Policy and Regional Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the project is closely aligned with the NDA government\u2019s Act East Policy and will have far-reaching benefits for the entire Northeast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 240 km will become 34 km. The six-hour journey will be reduced to just 20 minutes. The average speed will double, and high-speed connectivity will link Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The entire Northeast will benefit across economic activity, tourism, healthcare and education,\u201d Vaishnaw said.<\/p>\n<p>Echoing these sentiments, Chief Minister Sarma termed the approval a \u201chistoric milestone\u201d for Assam.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA historic milestone for Assam\u2014Bharat\u2019s first twin tube underwater rail-cum-road tunnel approved. Gratitude to Adarniya @narendramodi ji-led Union Cabinet for approving the 33.7 km 4-lane corridor from Gohpur to Numaligarh, including a 15.79 km tunnel beneath the mighty Brahmaputra River, at a cost of Rs 18,662 crore,\u201d he posted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First in India, Second in the World<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 15.79-km tunnel will be India\u2019s first underwater road-cum-rail tunnel and only the second such tunnel in the world. The alignment will integrate two major national highways\u2014NH-15 and NH-715\u2014and connect with key railway sections under the Northeast Frontier Railway. These include the Rangia\u2013Murkongselek section on the Gohpur side and the Furkating\u2013Mariani loop line on the Numaligarh side.<\/p>\n<p>Designed as a multi-modal infrastructure project, the corridor will link 11 economic nodes, three social nodes, two tourist nodes and eight logistics nodes. It will also improve access to four major railway stations, two airports and two inland waterways, enabling faster and more efficient movement of goods and passengers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Economic, Strategic and Employment Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Officials said the project would significantly enhance freight efficiency, reduce logistics costs and accelerate socio-economic growth across Assam and the wider Northeast region. Its strategic importance is also expected to strengthen connectivity to border areas and improve defence mobility.<\/p>\n<p>The government estimates that construction of the corridor will generate nearly 80 lakh person-days of direct and indirect employment, providing a substantial boost to the regional economy.<\/p>\n<p>Describing it as a strategically significant initiative, officials noted that the tunnel will open new avenues for trade, industrial development and regional integration, firmly placing Assam at the heart of India\u2019s infrastructure-driven growth in the Northeast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday highlighted the transformative impact of the upcoming Gohpur\u2013Numaligarh rail-cum-road tunnel beneath the Brahmaputra, calling it a historic and visionary infrastructure project&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3139,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-assam"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
