The
proposed bridge site (Longitude 94’ 45’-46” ,
Latitude 27’2’-422” Axis 315’-07’-05”) has been located at
approximate 17 Km. Downstream of Dibrugarh town. It has been connected to
National Highway No 37 on south bank at Km 580.788 and to NH No. 52 on north
bank at Km 307.826. The Rail approach on south bank is connected to Chowalkhowa
Railway Station at a distance of 5.83 Km from Dibrugarh and between Sisi Borgaon
and Sirpani Railway Station on North bank at Km 382.005 of the existing MG
Railway line. The length of the bridge is 4315.20 Mtr. The cost of the bridge
along with the approaches etc. have been worked out as Rs.1670.82 corers with
the base price level of FY 2000-01. The Moranhat Rail connection is also
proposed to be provided with the bridge for which the report and estimates
are prepared by NF Railway. If the cost of Moranhat Rail link, i.e.
Rs.91.24 corers is also added, the total cost of the bridge works out to Rs.
1762.06 corers. The project includes
the connection of Moranhat by new rail line from Dhamal gaon Station.
A new railway station, New Dibrugarh Rail Station, will be constructed at
Boiragimoth Kachari gaon, nearby the Dibrugarh city for which land measuring 404
