Construction of a bridge ([[Bogibeel Bridge]]) over the river Brahmaputra, joining Silapathar and Dibrugarh is going on. After which communication is going to be far more better, as access to MohanBari Airport, Dibrugarh will become quite easy and it is also a commercially active airport.

Besides this, the Rangiya-Murkongsleek Broad Gauge conversion is also under progress and once that completes, it will be a boom for the area.
