The project will increase average travel speeds by 100%, reduce travel time to half, improve overall road safety, enhance fuel efficiency, and lower vehicle operating costs, thereby enhancing regional mobility and socio-economic development.

The project will provide seamless connectivity to key economic, social, and logistics nodes across Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
