Dhubri-Phulbari bridge

The Dhubri - Phulbari Bridge is an under construction bridge over the Brahmaputra River between Assam and Meghalaya in North-East India.

The Dhubri - Phulbari bridge, to be completed by 2026–27, would be India’s longest bridge over water and would span more than 19 km. This proposed bridge, close to the Bangladesh border, will connect Assam's Dhubri with Meghalaya's Phulbari which is also a missing link of National Highway 127B. Civil works will start on 2019–2020. This is being funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency and it would be executed by . This is one of 6 proposed bridges on the Brahmaputra^[1]

^ PM Modi will lay the foundation stone for the four-lane bridge over the Brahmaputra between Dhubri (on North Bank) and Phulbari (on South Bank). The proposed Bridge will be located on NH-127B, originating from Srirampur on NH-27 (East-West Corridor), and terminating at Nongstoin on NH-106 in the State of Meghalaya. It will connect Dhubri in Assam to Phulbari, Tura, Rongram and Rongjeng in Meghalaya. Larsen and Toubro (L&T) has bagged the contract to construct this India's longest river bridge across the river Brahmaputra. It will feature a navigation bridge of 12.625 km approach viaducts of 3.5 km on the Dubri side and 2.2 km on the Phulbari side, connected with approach roads and interchanges on both sides. The bridge, to be built with a total cost of approx Rs 4,997 crore, will meet the long-standing demand of the people from Assam and Meghalaya who were depending on ferry services to travel between the two banks of the river. It will reduce the distance of 205 Km to be travelled by Road to 19 Km, which is the total length of the bridge.Fencing to be over by December: Sonowal. Connectivity in the Northeastern region of the country is set to get a boost with construction of more bridges connecting one state to another, primarily Assam and Meghalaya. In probably next 5years Dhola-Sadiya bridge will lose its 'title' to Dhubri-Phulbari bridge, but BPC INDIA holds the title for executing the geotechnical engineering for both the projects, in two completely different geomorphological condition on the same river of Mighty Brahmaputra.
