Diffo Bridge is a pre-stressed concrete box girder bridge over the Diffo river (Chipu river)[1] in Arunachal Pradesh, India. This Шаблон:Convert long bridge was inaugurated in 2019 by the Union Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.[2][3]

Construction

The construction started in 2011[3] by Border Roads Organisation under Project Udayank.[3] It was built for an estimated cost of Шаблон:INRConvert, which was funded by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.[2] Tough working conditions in an inhospitable terrain facing turbulent flash floods, made construction difficult. It was completed in 8 years.[2] The bridge was inaugurated by the Union Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on 18 January 2019.[2]

Significance

Earlier, Indian Defense Forces had laid the Bailey bridge over the Diffo Rrver. It was a temporary structure that had to be closed during most rains.[4] The new bridge provides uninterrupted access between Dibang Valley and Lohit valley of Eastern Arunachal Pradesh on Roing-Koron-Paya Road.[3] Lohit valley is the corridor that leads to Kibithu, the battleground of the 1962 Indo-Sino war and Lower Dibang Valley leads to the Anini front of border with China.[4] The bridge reduced traveling time between Tezu and Roing (district headquarters of Lohit Valley and Lower Dibang Valley respectively) from 3 hours to 45 minutes. During a monsoon, the old route took travelers through Assam. [4] Strategically, it provides an all-weather route for troops deployed on the China border (the McMahon line).[5]
