Namdang Stone Bridge
নামদাং শিলাসাঁকো
A bridge carved from a single block of rock in 1703, which still carries national highway traffic.
King Rudra Singha ordered the Namdang Stone Bridge built in 1703. According to records, it was carved from a single natural block of rock spanning the Namdang River. It is about 60 m long and still forms part of National Highway 37, where vehicles continue to pass. The bridge itself has a plain appearance; the highlight is the engineering method used more than three centuries ago. It lies about 12 km southwest of Sivasagar, next to Gaurisagar Tank. Allow 10–20 minutes for a stop on the way. Traffic on the highway is heavy, so take photos from the roadside.
