On the 09.02.2019 Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the Sela Tunnel Project in Arunachal Pradesh. The Project (BRO) will be completed in the next three years. The project allows for the widening of an existing single lane road to a National Highway double lane (specifications from Baisaki). The project also includes construction of two tunnels of length 475 m and 1790 m each crossing the Sela pass (Sela-Chabrela ridge) then meeting the existing Balipara-Chaudur-Tawang road on the Nurarang side. The altitude of the new alignment will vary between 3352,8 m (11,000 feet) and 3657,6 m (12,000feet). Once completed this would result in all weather connectivity to Tawang and areas beyond.
