The Bhupen Hazarika Setu, commonly known as the Dhola Sadiya Bridge, is a beam bridge in India, connecting the northeast states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The bridge spans the Lohit River, a major tributary of the Brahmaputra, connecting the village of Dhola in the south to the village of Sadiya to the north, both in the Tinsukia district of Assam, and providing convenient access to Arunachal Pradesh, whose border lies a short distance from Sadiya. The bridge is the first permanent road connection between northern Assam and eastern Arunachal Pradesh.

This bridge spans a body of water for 9.15 kilometers (5.69 miles), making it the longest in India. However, when it is finished, which is anticipated to be in July 2023, the 9.76 kilometers (6.06 mile) Kacchi Dargah-Bidupur Bridge in the Indian state of Bihar will surpass all others as the nation's longest bridge. The Dhola-Sadiya Bridge has been built to withstand the weight of 60-tonne (130,000-pound) tanks like the Arjun and T-72 main battle tanks of the Indian Army in order to facilitate quick movement of India's defensive assets in the wake of incursions by the Chinese Army. The bridge is a crucial tactical tool in the continuing issue because China has contested India's claim to Arunachal Pradesh along the Line of Actual Control militarily and politically ever since the Sino-Indian War.

Mahatma Gandhi Setu (also called Gandhi Setu or Ganga Setu) is a bridge over the river Ganges in Bihar, India, connecting Patna in the south to Hajipur in the north. It measures 5,750 meters in length (18,860 ft). It is the third-longest river bridge in India. It was inaugurated in May 1982 in a ceremony in Hajipur by the then prime minister, Indira Gandhi. From 1982 to 2017, Mahatma Gandhi Setu remained the longest bridge in India. Later, the Gandhi Setu's rehabilitation project was undertaken to install triangular steel trusses on Mahatma Gandhi Setu.

Due to an increase in the number of cars using the bridge, which overloads the structure and causes it to operate at capacity levels over capacity, there has been severe traffic mayhem in recent years. In order to alleviate these issues, the Bihar government has proposed to construct two pontoon bridges parallel to it. Over 85,000 vehicles and 12,000 pedestrians use the bridge every day. On September 21, 2020, Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi set the cornerstone for a new 14.5 km, four-lane bridge that will cost $2926.42 crores. It will be on the west side of the current bridge, and it will eventually include 8 lanes in addition to the current 4 lanes.

The Bandra–Worli Sea Link (officially known as Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link) is a 5.6 km long, 8-lane wide bridge that links Bandra in the Western Suburbs of Mumbai with Worli in the South Mumbai. After the Mahatma Gandhi Setu, Dibang River Bridge, and Bhupen Hazarika Setu, it is the fourth-longest bridge in India. It has pre-stressed concrete-steel viaducts on both sides and is a cable-stayed bridge. It was originally intended to be a part of the Western Freeway, which would connect Mumbai's Western Suburbs to Nariman Point in the financial center. However, it is currently anticipated to be a part of the Coastal Road to Kandivali.

The bridge consists of three distinct parts: the north end viaduct, the central cable-stayed spans, and the south end viaduct. Both the viaducts used precast segmental construction. The cable-stayed bridge on the Bandra channel has a 50m-250m-250m-50m span arrangement and on the Worli channel, it has a 50m-50m-150m-50m-50m span arrangement. It took this bridge almost 10 years to be ready for usage, and now every day, about 37500 different cars pass through it. You'll be shocked to learn that if you add up the weight of 50000 African elephants, the resulting mass equals the weight of this bridge.

Vikramshila Setu is a bridge across the Ganges, near Bhagalpur in the Indian state of Bihar named after the ancient Mahavihara of Vikramashila which was established by King Dharmapala (783 to 820 A.D.). The Vikramshila Setu is India's sixth-longest waterway crossing. The 4.7 km long, two-lane bridge connects NH 33 and NH 31, which are located on opposite sides of the Ganges. It extends along the Ganges from Barari Ghat on the Bhagalpur side to Naugachia on the north bank. Additionally, it links Bhagalpur to Katihar and Purnia. Road travel between Bhagalpur and locations across the Ganges has significantly decreased as a result of this.

However, because of the increased traffic, there is severe traffic congestion on the bridge, and there is currently a desire to build another bridge parallel to it. On 21 September 2020 Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of another 4-lane road bridge of 4.445 km length over the Ganga river parallel to Vikramshila Setu at cost of ₹1110.23 crores. In June 2018, another 24 km-long Vikramshila - Kataria rail-cum-road bridge between Vikramshila railway station (near Pirpainty south of Ganga) and Kataria railway station (near Naugachia railway station) north of the Ganga, with an expenditure of ₹4,379.01 crores was approved.
