Arunachal Frontier Highway, officially notified as the National Highway-913 and also called Bomdila-Vijaynagar Highway, connecting Bomdila in northwest to VijaynagarQ in southeast including 800 km greenfield section and network of new tunnels & bridges, is mostly lntermediate-lane and in some sections 2-lane paved-shoulder under-construction national highway along the India-Tibet border in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. The 1,748 km-long (1,086 mi) highway itself will cost ₹27,000 crore (equivalent to ₹290 billion or US$3.4 billion in 2023) and total cost including 6 additional inter-corridors is ₹40,000 crore (equivalent to ₹420 billion or US$5.0 billion in 2023).
In some places, this highway will run as close as 20 km from the LAC. To be constructed by MoRTH in 9 packages, all packages will be approved by the end of FY 2024-25 (March 2025) and construction will be completed in 2 years by 31 March 2027. Of the total route, 800km is greenfield, rest brownfield will be upgraded and tunnels will be built. This highway in the north & east Arunachal along the China border would complement the Trans-Arunachal Highway (through the middle of Arunachal) and the Arunachal East-West Corridor (in south Arunachal in foothills along the Assam border) as major highways spanning the whole state, pursuing the Look East connectivity policy.
