Mechi Bridge, Road bridge between Kakarbhitta, Nepal and Panitanki Bazaar, India.
The Mechi Bridge extends 583 meters across the Mechi River, connecting the Jhapa District of Nepal to the Darjeeling district in West Bengal, India.
The National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited of India completed the construction of this border crossing infrastructure in January 2019.
The bridge connects communities from both nations at the eastern border point, enabling regular interactions between Nepalese and Indian residents.
Located 20 kilometers east of Birtamod and 26 kilometers from Siliguri, the bridge links National Highway 327B with the Mahendra Highway network.
The structure spans a river that originates in Nepal's Mahabharat Range and forms the natural boundary between two nations before entering Bihar state.
