SHILLONG, March 11: The four-lane road from Shillong to Baniun, which is a part of the Shillong-Dawki road project, will be fully completed by November this year.
The road will terminate at Baniun, then take a detour through a greenfield alignment and connect the Shillong-Dawki road in Mylliem.
The project is being completed at a cost of Rs 351 crore.
With the completion of the road, residents are now asking the government to construct foot-over bridges in different areas for safe movement.
However, the idea of constructing overpasses from Rilbong till Anjalee pump and Mahavira Park in Jhalupara has been de-scoped from the project, as the Meghalaya government now wants to construct the overpass from Rilbong till Barik, for which necessary paperwork is under way.
