You cross this one rather than visit it. Bhupen Hazarika Setu runs 9.15 km over the Lohit, a major tributary of the Brahmaputra, joining the villages of Dhola and Sadiya in Tinsukia district and giving northern Assam its first permanent road link to eastern Arunachal Pradesh. It is the second longest bridge in India over water, and it was built with the army in mind: the deck is rated for 60-tonne main battle tanks, and the China border is close. Stop for the sheer length of it if you are driving up into Arunachal anyway, but do not make a detour of it.
