The Bhupen Hazarika Setu (Dhola–Sadiya Bridge), (Assamese: ভূপেন হাজৰিকা সেতু) is a beam bridge in India, connecting the northeast states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The bridge spans the Lohit River, a major tributary of the Brahmaputra River, from the village of Dhola in the south to Sadiya to the north. At 9.15 kilometres (5.69 mi) in length, it is the longest bridge in India. With rapid movement of India's defense assets in mind following incursions by the Chinese Army, the Dhola–Sadiya Bridge has been designed to handle the weight of 60-tonne (130,000-pound) tanks such as the Indian Army's Arjun and T-72 main battle tanks. Since the Sino-Indian War, China has disputed India's claim to Arunachal Pradesh politically and militarily, making the bridge an important tactical asset
