The Aizawl Western Side Bypass Road is being constructed under the PM DeVINE scheme with an estimated cost of Rs. 500 crore. RG Buildwell Engineer Limited has been selected as the contractor for the project. The road will cover 45 kilometers in length, and so far, the physical progress achieved is 13.70%. The project is expected to be completed by the year 2028, with the contractor continuing maintenance for five years after completion.
