Although well connected by road, Shillong has neither rail connections nor a proper air connection. Umroi Airport located 30 kilometres (19 mi) from the city centre has only limited flights.
Roadways
Shillong Bypass road
Shillong is well connected by roads with all major northeastern states. Three major National Highways pass through:
National Highway 6 (India) - Connected to Guwahati, Tripura and Mizoram
National Highway 106 (India) - Connected to Nongstoin
National Highway 206 (India) - Connected to Dawki
Private bus operators, as well as state transport buses from other states, come to and from Shillong daily. Taxi services are also available to destination like Guwahati, Agartala, Kohima, Dimapur, Aizawl and other North Eastern towns and cities.
The Shillong Bypass (pictured) is a two lane road which stretches across 47.06 kilometres (29.2 mi) connecting Umiam (NH-40) to Jorabat (NH-44) which then leads to other northeastern Indian states of Mizoram and Tripura. The project estimated to have cost around ₹220 crore (US$29 million) was completed in a span of two years (2011-2013)
