Dhubri-Phulbari bridge

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

The Dhubri - Phulbari bridge, planned 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 NHIDCL

Other proposed bridges in the same region are Guwahati - North Guwahati, Bhomoraguri - Tezpur, Gohpur - Numaligarh, Jorhat - Tezpur and Disangmukh - Tekeliphuta [1].

At present, there are 6 bridges over the Brahmaputra.

Assam’s easternmost bridge, the Bhupen Hazarika Bridge, across the River Lohit, one of the tributaries of the Brahmaputra, is currently India’s longest bridge at 9.15 km. This bridge, connecting Dhola and Sadiya, is named after music maestro Bhupen Hazarika.
