The bridge over the Daporijo river in Arunchal Pradesh was constructed in less than a month while adhering to safety norms. It was inaugurated by Chief Minister Pema Khandu via video conferencing link on 20 April 2020. The bridge is a strategic link towards LAC between India and China.
The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) constructed a 430 feet long bailey bridge at Daporijo over the Subansiri river in Arunachal Pradesh’s Upper Subansiri district. The BRO has upgraded the bridge, whose construction began last month, to class 40 tons, which means that it can bear the weight of heaviest loads such as artillery guns that can then be taken to forward areas along the LAC.
All supplies, rations, construction material and medicines pass over this bridge. The new bridge can withstand 40 tonne of weight allowing a safe passage for heavier vehicles catering not only for requirements of the Indian Army but also future infrastructure development requirements of Upper Subansiri district.
