The Chief Minister reviewed the progress of the project and directed officials to accelerate the pace of construction. He stated that efforts are underway to complete the bridge by December 2025 or January 2026.

In the interim, traffic will be diverted through the IIT Guwahati and GNRC route to connect to the National Highway.
The trumpet junction is expected to be completed by May or June 2026, after which traffic flow is expected to improve further.
