Dibrugarh: Arunachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, inaugurated a motorable steel-girder Bailey bridge across the Rima River at Khamlang in Changlang district, officials and local reports said. Mein announced the inauguration on X, calling the opening “a historic milestone for the people of Khamlang” and confirming the bridge as motorable, designed to carry vehicular traffic.
The structure, described in media reports as a steel-girder Bailey bridge, was formally opened during the deputy chief minister’s visit to the area. Mein’s post on X highlighted the significance of the project for residents of Khamlang and the surrounding communities.
A Bailey bridge is a prefabricated, modular steel bridge system-originally developed for rapid assembly in military and emergency contexts-that can be deployed quickly and configured to support road traffic. The description “motorable” indicates the bridge is intended to permit vehicles to cross the Rima River rather than only pedestrians.
The inauguration was reported by EastMojo, which carried the deputy chief minister’s remarks and details of the opening. Local officials and residents welcomed the new crossing as an important infrastructure addition for Khamlang and nearby areas.
