Infrastructure development projects in Assam have seen recent administrative approvals and funding allocations. The Indian Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved a Rs 8,970.20 crore project to construct a 135.871-km, four-lane access-controlled Guwahati-Tezpur corridor on National Highway 15. This project includes bypasses, bridges, flyovers, and an elephant underpass, as well as a 4.9-km emergency landing facility coordinated with the Indian Air Force.

In a separate development, the Assam government allocated an additional Rs 100 crore to expand the Guwahati Science City in Sonapur. This funding is intended for a digital panorama, a convention centre, and improved parking. Additionally, progress is being monitored for the Zubeen Khetra memorial site, which is slated to include an open-air theatre and a museum.
