Road connectivity to the Northeast and parts of north Bengal became smoother and faster as traffic started moving on the second bridge on the outskirts of Jalpaiguri town over the Teesta river. 
Built at a cost of Rs 70 crore, the new bridge is 1.05km long, 12m wide and rests on 24 pillars. It has a footpath on one side of the bridge for pedestrians, a separate track for two-wheelers and a two-lane road for vehicles.

The construction of the bridge started in December 2016 as a part of the east west corridor — a four lane highway that runs from Porbandar in Gujarat to Silchar of Assam.

The new bridge over the Teesta along NH27 has tremendous strategic importance, said Soumen Nag, a social researcher in Siliguri
