Itanagar: A motorable bridge spanning the Dri River at Etabe in the Anini sector of the Dibang Valley district is finally hitting the home stretch. The project endured an eight-year delay. Construction crews are now finishing the steel and reinforced concrete structure to provide all-weather access to this remote stretch of Arunachal Pradesh.
The bridge sits in a region that borders China. Strategically, this is a massive win. Historically, rugged terrain and poor transit options crippled the movement of people and supplies throughout the Upper Dibang Valley. Officials say the project will boost local access to basic services and necessary goods. The goal is simple, move people and freight faster.
This work marks a major milestone for district infrastructure. For residents in the area, the bridge signals the end of long-standing isolation. The completion of this span represents a major step forward for the road network near the border.
