Saraighat Bridge is a vital link that connects the north-eastern region of India with the rest of the country. Situated over the majestic Brahmaputra River in Guwahati, Assam, it is one of Guwahati's landmark infrastructures. Opened to the public in 1962, the bridge was initially constructed for railway transportation but later included a road deck over the rail deck. Known for its strategic importance, it played a crucial role during the 1962 Indo-China war. The bustling city of Guwahati revolves around the economic and cultural activities that the bridge enables, making it more than just a transportation hub. As one crosses the bridge, the panoramic view of the Brahmaputra River encapsulates the beauty of Assam's landscape. Alongside its transportational purposes, the bridge has become a popular spot for locals and tourists to appreciate the serene river views, especially at sunset or sunrise.
