Thread: on 28th May 2018 me and @chanya_manya decided to take a small detour and go see the #BogibeelBridge over the mighty Brahmaputra River near Dibrugarh during our #RoadTo2019 expedition. Off the highway we were greeted with beautiful tea gardens spanning thousands of acres.
We knew only this

Foundation laid in Jan 1997
Work started in April 2002
Completed only by Modi govt.
Price escalted from 1,767 to 5800 cr

We finally reached and we're greeted with huge machinery and manpower along with security personnel manning the then under construction two storeyed bridge.
And we couldn't believe our eyes. The river. Huge. H. U. G. E. We couldn't see the opposite bank. 😱

Construction was going on and we spoke to a few locals there. Did an interview too which will be released soon. Today that bridge is being inaugurated. Locals there were so excited when we spoke to them.
Bridge opens new possibilities. Bridge to new India. 🤩
