A slew of developmental projects have been carried out in the Northeastern states of the country in the last 4 years.PM Modi inaugurated the Bogibeel bridge in Assam today.<\/p>\n
After BJP came into power at the Centre, the works in progress were expedited in the region and Railway was engaged in connecting the northeast at faster pace. Now the construction of 4. 94 kilometre long Bogibeel bridge on Brahmaputra river will connect the two northeast states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.<\/p>\n
This Bogibeel Bridge on Brahmaputra river marks a historic milestone towards achieving the goal of New India. It was in 2002, the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee commenced the construction of the double decker bridge in Dibrugarh of Assam with the mission of connecting far flung areas.<\/p>\n
The 4.9 km-long Bogibeel Bridge on the Brahmaputra river is India’s only fully welded bridge for which European codes and welding standards were adhered to for the first time in the country. The bridge is constructed at an estimated cost of 5,800 crore rupees.<\/p>\n
The bridge has a two-line railway track on the lower deck and a three-lane road on the top deck. For the first time in Indian Railways, the girder has steel floor system for railway tracks and concrete for road.<\/p>\n
The bridge reduces travel time from Assam to Arunachal Pradesh to four hours and will cut out the detour of over 170 km via Tinsukia. It will also reduce Delhi to Dibrugarh train-travel time by about three hours to 34 hours as against 37 hours presently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
