Kawnpui–Sairang Road Widening Nearing Completion

Aizawl, 7 Aug 2025 : The widening work on the Kawnpui to Sairang NH-06, considered the most difficult and challenging section, has reached a major milestone with the completion of the stretch leading to Zoram Mega Food Park, Khamrang junction. The most challenging portion—about 100 metres long—was tackled today, and as of 2:00 p.m., nearly 80 metres had already been cleared of boulders, with full completion expected within the day.

The work is being carried out using two excavators, one vibratory roller, and one grader. Proper side drains along the road are also being constructed to ensure better water management.

NHIDCL, which is executing the widening project, has announced that traffic on the Kawnpui–Sairang road will operate as a one-way system. Starting from 6:00 p.m. on 7 August 2025, only essential commodities will be transported, allowing 6- and 10-wheeler heavy motor vehicles (HMVs) to pass. When conditions permit, 12-wheeler HMVs will also be allowed to use the route.
