Prime Minister Narendra Modi will Thursday digitally lay the foundation stone of the fifth bridge across the Brahmaputra that would be India’s longest. The 19.282 km four-lane bridge, expected to be completed by 2026-27, will connect Phulbari in Meghalaya and Dhubri in poll-bound Assam.

The initiation of work on the bridge will be among a slew of projects that the BJP-led government in Assam has been pushing through ahead of elections to the 126-member Assembly.
