Bogibeel Rail-cum-Road Bridge:
An engineering marvel across the
Brahmaputra
Bridging River Brahmaputra has always been a daunting task, the river has been
traditionally considered extremely difficult for bridging due to various reasons
including its ferocious & unpredictable behaviour, high currents & turbulent
waters, widespread erosion of the banks, very short working period & high
seismicity and remoteness of the area.
With the width ranging from 1.2km to 18km, Brahmaputra river has been
bridged four times in past. Hindustan Construction Company Ltd (HCC) holds a
distinction of building three of these bridges and the latest among them is the
bridge at Bogibeel, near Dibrugarh.
