Saraighat Bridge Assams First RailCumRoad Bridge

Spanning the mighty Brahmaputra River, Saraighat Bridge is the first rail-cum-road bridge in Assam, connecting Guwahati with North Guwahati. Built in 1962, it plays a crucial role in the region’s transportation network. The bridge is not just an engineering marvel but also historically significant, as the Battle of Saraighat (1671) was fought near this location, where the Ahom army defeated the Mughals. The scenic views of the Brahmaputra from the bridge make it a must-visit spot.
