Second Saraighat Bridge to enhance Northeast connectivity

A second Saraighat Bridge is being developed across the Brahmaputra River in Assam to strengthen regional connectivity. The new rail-cum-road infrastructure project is expected to facilitate better transport and commerce across the Northeast.

The bridge will serve dual purposes, accommodating both rail and road traffic. This addition to existing infrastructure aims to reduce congestion and improve accessibility in the region, supporting economic development and inter-state movement.
