GUWAHATI: The long-awaited bridge over Guwahati-North Guwahati has been completed and is slated for completion in a few months, a landmark milestone that promises to redefine the infrastructure of Assam's capital. A new development, according to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who made news exciting on X, calling the bridge a "majestic" structure soon to be the new face of a progressive Guwahati.
"In a few months from now, we are going to dedicate the majestic Guwahati-North Guwahati bridge that will bridge distances and become the landmark of a new & progressive Guwahati," Sarma posted, holding both symbolic and practical importance of the project.
Since the Brahmaputra River divides Assam into two halves, with Guwahati on both its southern and northern counterparts, the new bridge will act as a connecting link between the two entities. The establishment of this bridge will link these two regions as a whole and reduce travel time to the city, which has become notorious for traffic congestion. It will also work a lot harder to ease the daily commute of the populace, whom previously would have endured the journey to be today carried out in a relatively smooth and efficient manner.
Apart from an improved flow of traffic, the impact of the bridge goes much beyond that. The Chief Minister underlines how the project would be an uplift in the local economy, because the trade and transport links would be made better between Guwahati and North Guwahati, thus permitting the creations of more businesses. Sarma also commented on the stage in the long-term vision of the government towards its plan for the future of transforming Guwahati into an urban modern hub or so-to-speak, vigorously enforcing its position as an important factor in the region's economic development process.
Just around the corner is the completion date of this structural wonder, and the city has already tagged the something as the future landmark. In the midst of providing an essential infrastructure, according to Sarma, the bridge reflects a deeper story on how fast Guwahati, on its own, has developed and transformed as a city-a beacon of hope for a brighter future where distances are not only overcome geographically but economically and socially as well.
