The 9.15km Bhupen Hazarika Setu (Bridge) will connect and bring closer the people of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. It will shorten the distance by 165 km reducing the travel time by 7-8 hours, opening new doors to economic development. This bridge will also open new road for the high quality North East ginger grown by farmers of the region and improve their economic condition.

Not only that. The bridge is capable of bearing the weight of a 60-tonne battle tank. It will improve the movement of civilian and military vehicles to strategic locations, all the way upto Anini in Arunachal Pradesh. Anini is about 100 km from China border. It will also reduce the time taken by the armed forces in reaching the border in Dibang and Anjaw. This journey normally takes almost two days. This bridge will save rupees ten lakh per day in the form of petrol and diesel.
