Discover more about New flyover bridge

The New Flyover Bridge, officially known as the Guwahati-North Guwahati Bridge, represents a significant upgrade to the city's infrastructure. This six-lane extradosed bridge spans the Brahmaputra River, connecting Bharalumukh in Guwahati to Majgaon in North Guwahati. An extradosed bridge combines elements of both girder and cable-stayed bridges, offering structural strength and aesthetic appeal. The bridge aims to reduce travel time between Guwahati and North Guwahati by more than 75%, cutting what used to be an hour-long journey to just 10-15 minutes. This makes commuting easier for daily travelers and opens up opportunities for development on the northern bank of the Brahmaputra. The project includes a 1.20 km flyover along the riverbank, connecting the bridge to ITA Machkhowa area. Noise barrier technology is incorporated to minimize disturbance to nearby residential areas. While tolls are expected to be levied on lorries and night super buses, city buses and private vehicles are likely to be exempt.
