Naranarayan Setu, Railway and road bridge in Jogighopa, India

The Naranarayan Setu spans 2.284 kilometers across the Brahmaputra River, connecting Jogighopa in Bongaigaon District with Pancharatna in Goalpara District.

Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee inaugurated the Naranarayan Setu on April 15, 1998, marking the completion of the third bridge over the Brahmaputra River.

The bridge bears the name of Nara Narayan, a 16th-century Koch king who held great importance in the regional history of Assam.

The double-deck structure incorporates railway tracks on the lower level and a four-lane road on the upper level, facilitating both rail and vehicular traffic.

The construction required 29,200 metric tons of steel and featured India's first 125-meter span railway bridge, setting new standards in engineering.

Official opening: April 15, 1998

GPS coordinates: 26.20858,90.55997
