The six-kilometre bridge across the river Dibang near Bomjir in Arunachal Pradesh. It was incomplete at the time of our travel, but opened in the months soon after.

These ferrymen wait all year for the dry season to ferry cars across the river. The upcoming bridge will end that source of income for these people.
Passengers have to take two ferries across the Dibang, a journey that takes nearly an hour to complete.
