In this paper, we have investigated the transport of topological edge states in 2D Zigzag edge Tungsten Ditelluride Nanoribbon (ZTDNR).We have found that zigzag edge nanoribbon (NR) of Tungsten Ditelluride develops topological edge states in the presence of intrinsic spin orbit interaction (SOC). We have used three band tight binding model for the electrons of d_z² , d_xy, and d_x² - _y²orbitals with SOC for calculating band structure of NR and Non Equilibrium Greens Function (NEGF) formalism for transport in the NR. We have investigated transport in a pristine device, transport in the presence of a finite potential barrier, transport with constriction within the device and transport with edge imperfections.
