Inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi
Hindustan Construction Company announced that the Bogibeel bridge, a 4.9 km-long superstructure which was constructed by the Company on the Brahmaputra river in Dibrugarh district of Assam was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 24th January 2018.The bridge is the first fully welded steel bridge and the longest rail-cum-road bridge in India connecting to nearly five million people residing in Upper Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The project boasts of multiple benefits such as strategic and speedier access for defence forces to the Indo-China a border, seamless access for medical facilities to remote north-eastern states, and most importantly reducing by nearly 10 hours the transportation distance between NH-37 and NH-52, saving transportation cost, time and fuel.
