Project Detail:
Assam Bridge II Project.
The territory of the state of Assam is split into two parts by Brahmaputra river, making transport connectivity within the State challenging.
Guwahati is the largest city in the State and the crossroad of regional and national highways connecting Assam and other north-eastern states with the rest of India. Growing demand on transport infrastructure, in particular across the Brahmaputra river, has resulted in bottlenecks in Guwahati and neighbouring Kamrup and Kamrup Metropolitan districts. Currently, Guwahati has two bridges in operation. The third one, the Assam Bridge financed by NDB, is under construction. To further augment the much-needed transport infrastructure, The Government of Assam (GoA) has proposed construction of another bridge across the Brahmaputra river that will connect the towns of Palasbari to Sualkuchi on the western edge of the Guwahati Metropolitan Area (GMA).
The Project will create direct connection between the north and south parts of the GMA, contributing to the comprehensive development of Guwahati in line with the Master Plan for Guwahati Metropolitan Area – 2025.
Total Project Cost: 33 Billion
