Bhupen Hazarika Setu (Dhola-Sadiya Bridge)
Exploring Guwahati, Assam, India
The Bhupen Hazarika Setu, commonly known as the Dhola-Sadiya Bridge, is an engineering marvel and a strategic lifeline, holding the distinction of being India's longest bridge over water. Inaugurated in 2017, this colossal bridge spans 9.15 kilometers over the Lohit River, connecting the towns of D hola and Sadiya. It significantly reduces travel time between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, boosting connectivity and economic development in the region. The bridge is named after the legendary Assamese singer, lyricist, and filmmaker, Dr. Bhupen Hazarika, a towering cultural icon. While it's a significant distance from Guwahati, the bridge itself is a testament to modern engineering and offers breathtaking views of the vast river and its surrounding landscape, particularly during sunrise or sunset. Its sheer scale and the panoramic views it provides make it a destination for those embarking on extended tours of Upper Assam or Arunachal Pradesh. The bridge has transformed accessibility to remote areas, opening up new possibilities for tourism and trade. A visit to the Bhupen Hazarika Setu is less about a typical tourist attraction and more about appreciating a monumental infrastructure project that has reshaped the geography of travel in Northeast India. It's a stark reminder of human ingenuity in conquering natural barriers and a symbol of progress in the region. For those venturing deep into Upper Assam or heading towards places like Pasighat or Roing in Arunachal Pradesh, crossing this bridge is an experience in itself, offering sweeping vistas of the riverine landscape and the distant hills.
