Kolia Bhomora Setu is a bridge connecting Nagaon with Tezpur. About two centuries ago, a massive stone inscription was made by the Ahom General Kalia Bhomora Phukan, who had initially planned to construct the bridge. In 1987, the bridge was constructed, 3.05 km long and dedicated to this great Ahom general.
