Saraighat Bridge, Rail and road bridge in Kamrup district, India

The Saraighat Bridge extends 1.39 kilometers across the Brahmaputra River, connecting Jalukbari with Amingaon in the Guwahati region.

The construction of the original Saraighat Bridge marked the first time both railway and road traffic could cross the Brahmaputra River in this region.

The bridge name references the historic Battle of Saraighat, where Ahom forces defeated Mughal armies on the Brahmaputra River in 1671.

Located 9.5 kilometers from Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, the bridge serves as the main transportation link between north and south Guwahati.

A second Saraighat Bridge, completed in 2016 at a cost of 475 crore rupees, runs parallel to the original structure.
