The Dhola-Sadiya Bridge, also referred to as the Bhupen Hazarika Setu (Assamese: ভূপেন হাজৰিকা সেতু), is a beam bridge in India, connecting the northeast states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.The bridge spans the Lohit River, a major tributary of the Brahmaputra River, from the village of Dhola(Tinsukia District) in the south to Sadiya to the north.The bridge is the first permanent road connection between the northern Assam and eastern Arunachal Pradesh.
At 9.15 kilometres (5.69 mi) in length, it is the longest bridge in India.However, the 9.76 kilometres (6.06 mi) Kacchi Dargah-Bidupur Bridge under construction in the Indian state of Bihar, is expected to become the longest bridge in India upon its estimated completion in December 2020.
With rapid movement of India's defense assets in mind following incursions by the Chinese Army, the Dhola-Sadiya Bridge has been designed to handle the weight of 60-tonne (130,000-pound) tanks such as the Indian Army's Arjun and T-72 main battle tanks.Since the Sino-Indian War, China has disputed India's claim to Arunachal Pradesh, politically and militarily, along the Line of Actual Control, making the bridge an important tactical asset in the ongoing dispute.
