The 12.21-kilometer, 4-lane extradosed prestressed concrete bridge will connect Palasbari on National Highway 17 to Sualkuchi. It will link the two locations via the Bongshar-Sualkuchi Road.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma performed the Bhumi Pujan ceremony on Sunday. The ceremony was held for a new bridge over the Brahmaputra River in Western Guwahati. The 4-lane road bridge will connect Palasbari in the south with Sualkuchi, the silk capital of Assam, in the north.
The event took place at Bathan Pam in Sualkuchi. It marks the official start of the bridge's construction. The bridge will provide crucial connectivity in the region. CM Himanta Biswa Sarma tweeted, “Marking another milestone in our infrastructural journey, the 12.21 km long Palasbari-Sualkuchi Bridge will bridge the gap between the two important places and boost connectivity in the State.”
The foundation stone for the project was laid by Prime Minister Narendra on April 14, 2023. The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 3197.20 crore. It is supported by the New Development Bank (NDB), which approved a $300 million loan in 2019.
The 12.21 km long bridge will include a 3.6 km cable-stayed bridge portion. It will also feature a 5.61 km approach on the Palasbari side and a 3 km approach on the Sualkuchi side, including wetland approach viaducts. The approach sections will have two 0.216 km viaducts and 0.864 km wetland viaducts.
