The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has given
its approval for the four laning of the ‘Jorhat-Demow’ section of
National Highway-37 in the state of Assam under the Special Accelerated
Road Development Programme in North Eastern Region (SARDP-NE) Phase ‘A’
on Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis in
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) (Annuity) mode of delivery. The cost is
estimated to be Rs.874.69 crore excluding land acquisition and other
pre-construction activities. The total length of road will be approx.
80 kms.
The project will expedite the improvement of infrastructure in the state of Assam and also reduce the time and cost of travel for traffic, particularly heavy traffic, plying between Guwahati to Dibrugarh and Nagaon to Dibrugarh. It will also increase employment potential for local labourers for project activities. The project is covered in the districts of Golaghat, Jorhat, Sivsagar and Dibrugarh and passes through the towns of Numaligarh, Dergaon, Jorhat, Jhanji, Gorisagar, Sivsagar, Demow, Sapan, Maran and Dibrugarh.
