Descripción:Vikramshila Setu or Bridge is built over a length of 4.7 kms (or 47000 m) on the River Ganges between the National highways 80 and 31. This bridge acts as a link between the cities of Barari Ghat and Naugauchia in the State of Bihar, India. It was observed that travel across these cities was hampered due to floods in River Ganges during rainy season, hence the Bridge was constructed. Without this bridge, the travelers had to take a roundabout route to reach Barari Ghat from Naugauchia. This bridge assumes importance not only because it is the second largest bridge in North India (first being the Mahatma Gandhi Setu) but also for the rare species of Dolphins in the Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary. The name of the bridge is derived from the famous educational institution built by King Dharmapala by the name Vikramshila.
