Jawahar Setu, Road bridge in Dehri, India

The Jawahar Setu extends for 3,061 meters across the Son River, connecting the towns of Dehri-on-Son and Son Nagar in Bihar state.

Completed in 1965, this bridge forms an integral part of the Grand Trunk Road, one of the oldest major roads connecting regions across South Asia.

The bridge received its name from Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, reflecting the nation's post-independence infrastructure development.

The structure carries the National Highway 2 and accommodates thousands of vehicles daily, reducing travel time between different districts of Bihar.

The bridge runs parallel to Nehru Setu, a railway bridge constructed in 1900, creating a dual transport corridor across the Son River.
