National Highway in India / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the old National Highway 13, see National Highway 50 (India), National Highway 52 (India), National Highway 169 (India), and National Highway 369 (India).
National Highway 13 (NH 13), part of the larger Trans-Arunachal Highway network, is a 1,559 km long two-lane national highway across Arunachal Pradesh in India running from Tawang in northwest to Wakro in southeast.[1][2] Entire route became operational in 2018 when 6.2 km long Dibang River Bridge was completed across Dibang River.[3][4] Sela Tunnel, a shorter alternative route with target completion by Jan/Feb 2022, will provide all-weather connectivity.[5][6] Before the renumbering of highways, it was known as NH 229 and NH52.[7] This strategically important highway enhances Indian military's capabilities in combating the threat of China's Western Theater Command opposite India's eastern sector of Line of Actual Control.
