The Dhubri - Phulbari Bridge is a proposed new bridge over the Brahmaputra River between Assam and Meghalaya in North-East India.

The Dhubri - Phulbari bridge, planned to be completed by 2026, would be India’s longest bridge over water and would span more than 18 km. This proposed bridge, close to the Bangladesh border, will connect Assam's Dhubri with Meghalaya's Phulbari. Other proposed bridges in the same region are Guwahati - North Guwahati, Bhomoraguri - Tezpur, Gohpur - Numaligarh, Jorhat - Tezpur and Disangmukh - Tekeliphuta [1].

At present, there are three bridges over the Brahmaputra. Work on the fourth, Bogibeel Bridge near eastern Assam’s Dibrugarh, is nearing completion.

Assam’s easternmost bridge, the Bhupen Hazarika Bridge, across the River Lohit, one of the tributaries of the Brahmaputra, is currently India’s longest bridge at 9.15 km. This bridge, connecting Dhola and Sadiya, is named after music maestro Bhupen Hazarika.
