New Delhi — India is set to open the 9.15 kilometer long Dhola- Sadiya Bridge on the Brahmaputra river by the middle of next year.
The bridge will reduce the travel time between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh by around four hours. The bridge is crucial for India’s defense preparedness as it will allow Army tanks to pass over thus significantly reducing the travel time for defense forces and equipment to reach the state of Arunachal Pradesh, bordering China.
Work on the two lane bridge started in November 2010 with the total length of project being 25.8 kilometers including 16.65 kilometers of approach roads.
