Middle Strait and Humphrey Strait
Creek Bridges
Middle Strait and Humphrey Strait are major obstacles
on the Andaman Trunk Road, with vehicles having
to be transported in small ferries to reach North
and Middle Andaman, taking nearly three hours
longer. The bridges will create socio-economic
growth and will ensure seamless access for the
armed forces during an emergency.
