Visuals from the Shillong – Dawki road clearly show the improvements as seen in a new video from the important tourist corridor of Meghalaya. Repair Work on Shillong \u2013 Dawki Road provides Much relief Because the Shillong \u2013 Dawki road is the main access to Meghalaya\u2019s most-frequented tourist spots like Dawki, Shnongpdeng and to the Umngot river. For years, commuters and tourists along the said road have voiced concern over its poor condition, especially during monsoon when the road faces multiple landslides and damages to its mountainous terrain. However the recent repairs on the road will make journey for the travellers more convenient and smooth while journeying toward both towns of Dawki and Shnongpdeng. Nevertheless there will still be some ongoing work and construction as we can witness other parts of the roads still being renovated, so some sections may still be unequal while moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


These improvements for the betterment of commute to the tourists travelling towards the Dawki – Shnongpdeng belt are also beneficial for the numerous resorts like Betelnut Resort located near the popular tourist village of Shnongpdeng that relies on its connectivity, this area being home to many tourists travelling toward Dawki to visit the beautiful Umngot River and its surrounding areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


While the repaired road segments are encouraging and make the trip to Dawki and Shnongpdeng relatively safer and much easier, there is also work in progression on various segments and hence travelers might still find un-evenly repaired zones on hilly terrains and during rainfall, so they should continue to drive with precautions. They should refer to recent local road reports before embarking their journey to Dawki and Shnongpdeng. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
