Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Bridge, Road bridge in Assam, India

The Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Bridge extends 9.15 kilometers across the Brahmaputra River, containing 183 spans with a width of 12.9 meters.

The construction of this engineering structure began in November 2011 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated it on May 26, 2017.

The bridge carries the name of Dr. Bhupen Hazarika, an Assamese singer and filmmaker who contributed to the regional artistic heritage.

This connection reduces travel time between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh to four hours, replacing the previous time-consuming ferry services.

The structure stands as the longest bridge in India, surpassing the Bandra-Worli Sea Link in Mumbai by 3.55 kilometers.
