A breathtaking engineering marvel

When you are exploring the city of Dibrugarh, sooner or later, you will come across a magnificent expanse of a bridge across the mighty Brahmaputra River that will make you want to get closer immediately.

At a staggering 4.94 km, this architectural marvel is the famous Bogibeel Bridge, the largest railroad bridge in India, the second-longest of its kind in all of Asia, and the pride of Dibrugarh. Engineered to be exceptionally resilient, it can withstand ferocious storms with wind speeds of up to 260 km/h and seismic activity with a maximum magnitude of 8.0!

Yet, beyond its structural prowess, the Bogibeel Bridge is a gateway to breathtaking vistas. It connects the towns of Dibrugarh and Dhemaji while offering panoramic views of the lush, verdant landscape that adorns the Brahmaputra's banks.

As a symbol of resilience and progress, the Bogibeel Bridge beckons you with the promise of awe-inspiring vistas and the allure of traversing one of the region's most iconic landmarks.

An important role in defence

This engineering marvel is not just a regular bridge but also plays a crucial role in India's defence infrastructure. Defence personnel and supplies to the Indo-China border are often sent through the Bogibeel Bridge. The bridge is named after General Omeokam Bogibeel, who was a revered commander of the Ahom Dynasty and a valiant freedom fighter. This makes its crucial role as a vital defence link bridging the river's North and South banks an honour to the memory of the brave general.
