Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha announced that the Tripura government will double‑lane all remaining state highways and construct a 3.985‑km flyover in Agartala to alleviate traffic congestion.
In a recent statement, Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha detailed the state’s next phase of road development, focusing on improving connectivity across Tripura. The government plans to upgrade every remaining state highway to a double‑lane configuration, a move aimed at boosting safety and reducing travel times.
The upgrade will cover all highways that are currently single‑lane, ensuring uniform capacity across the network. Officials said the work will be carried out in stages, with priority given to routes that experience the highest traffic volumes.
Alongside the highway expansion, a new 3.985‑kilometre flyover is slated for Agartala. The structure is intended to ease congestion at key junctions within the capital, providing a faster, uninterrupted flow for commuters.
Both initiatives are part of Tripura’s broader infrastructure programme, which seeks to attract investment and support economic growth. While exact timelines were not disclosed, the projects are expected to commence shortly after the necessary clearances are obtained.
State authorities anticipate that the combined effect of double‑laned highways and the Agartala flyover will significantly improve road safety and reduce travel delays for residents and commercial traffic alike.
