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.
