Which Is The Longest Bridge Over Water In India And How Long Is It?
The longest bridge over water in India is the Dhola–Sadiya Bridge, officially named the Bhupen Hazarika Setu. It stretches across the Lohit River, a major tributary of the Brahmaputra, connecting Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
The bridge is 9.15 kilometers (5.69 miles) long, making it the longest river bridge in India. Inaugurated in 2017, it plays a crucial role in improving connectivity, reducing travel time between the two states by several hours, and strengthening India’s border infrastructure.
