PM मोदी ने किया दो लेन की सबसे लंबी सुरंग का उद्घाटन

The tunnel, cost of ₹ 825 crore, connects Tezpur to Tawang, near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China.

The Sela Tunnel will be the world's longest bi-lane tunnel at an elevation exceeding 13,000 feet.

Executed by the Border Road Organisation (BRO), the project features two tunnels and a link road.

Tunnel 1 is a single-tube tunnel, while Tunnel 2 is a twin-tube tunnel, with one bi-lane tube for traffic and the other for emergency services.

The foundation stone for the Sela Tunnel project was laid by Prime Minister Modi on February 9, 2019.

The execution of this project required 90 lakh man-hours, with an average of 650 workers contributing daily for the past five years.

Situated 400 metres below the Sela Pass, the Sela Tunnel offers a vital passage, even during the winter season.
