In this paper we have explored the possibility of constructing a traversablewormhole on the Shtanov-Sahni braneworld with a timelike extra dimension. Wefind that the Weyl curvature singularity at the throat of the wormhole can beremoved with physical matter satisfying the NEC $\rho+p \geq 0$, even in theabsence of any effective $\Lambda$-term or any type of charge source on thebrane. (The NEC is however violated by the effective matter description on thebrane arising due to effects of higher dimensional gravity.) Besides satisfyingNEC the matter constituting the wormhole also satisfies the Strong EnergyCondition (SEC), $\rho+3p \geq 0$, leading to the interesting possibility thatnormal matter on the brane may be harnessed into a wormhole. Incidentally,these conditions also need to be satisfied to realize a non-singular bounce andcyclic cosmology on the brane\cite{Sahni4} where both past and futuresingularities can be averted. Thus, such a cyclic universe on the brane,constituted of normal matter can naturally contain wormholes. The wormholeshape function on the brane with a time-like extra dimension represents thetubular structure of the wormhole spreading out at large radial distances muchbetter than in wormholes constructed in a braneworld with a spacelike extradimension and have considerably lower mass resulting in minimization of theamount of matter required to construct a wormhole. Wormholes in theShtanov-Sahni (SS) braneworld also have sufficiently low tidal forces,facilitating traversability. Additionally they are found to be stable andexhibit a repulsive geometry. We are left with the intriguing possibilty thatboth types of curvature singularity can be resolved with the SS model, which wediscuss at the end of the concluding section.
