The New Development Bank (NDB) has approved a substantial funding of $333.80 million for the construction of a four-lane bridge over the Brahmaputra River in Assam. This significant investment is set to enhance connectivity and bolster infrastructure in the northeastern region of India.

The NDB's funding underscores its commitment to supporting infrastructure projects that have a transformative impact on local economies and enhance regional integration. This project is part of a broader initiative to improve infrastructure across various states in India, aligning with the government's goals of driving sustainable development and improving connectivity.

The construction of the bridge is anticipated to commence soon, with efforts focused on ensuring timely completion and adherence to quality standards. This development marks a significant step forward in enhancing the transportation network in Assam and fostering greater economic opportunities in the region.
