In a groundbreaking infrastructure milestone, India is set to construct its first-ever four-lane tunnel beneath the mighty Brahmaputra River in Assam.

The ambitious project, designed to boost connectivity between the north and south banks of the river, will feature state-of-the-art engineering to withstand the region’s challenging terrain and seismic conditions. Once completed, it will significantly cut travel time, enhance trade routes, and strengthen military logistics in the strategically vital Northeast.

Officials say the tunnel will also be a boon for tourism and regional development, creating jobs and opening up new economic opportunities. Work is expected to begin soon, marking a major leap in India’s infrastructure ambitions.
