The Bhupen Hazarika Setu , also referred to as the
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 ( Tinsukia District ) in the south to Sadiya to the north. The bridge is the first permanent road connection between the northern Assam and eastern Arunachal Pradesh.
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, along the Line of Actual Control , making the bridge an important tactical asset in the ongoing dispute.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways started a feasibility study of the project in August 2003 after demands from local constituents.
In January 2009 the bridge was approved for construction with funding from the
Government of India as part of the Arunachal Pradesh Package of Roads and Highways.
Construction began in November 2011 as a public-private partnership with Navayuga Engineering Company , with an expected completion in 2015. However, due to construction delays and cost increases, the bridge's completion date was pushed into 2017.
The project cost around ₹10 billion (US$156 million) and construction took over five years to complete.It is 3.55 kilometres (2.21 mi) longer than the Bandra Worli Sea Link in Mumbai , making it the longest bridge in India.
The bridge was inaugurated on 26 May 2017 by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nitin Gadkari (Minister of Road Transport and Highways). The bridge is named after Bhupen Hazarika , a famous musician, poet, filmmaker and lyricist from Assam .
