The Maitri Setu (Friendship Bridge), also called the Gateway of Northeast, was inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on March 9. The bridge is of economic importance to the region and will link Tripura in India with Bangladesh. The Friendship Bridge is expected to strengthen relations and connectivity between India and Bangladesh.

The project was awarded to Dineshchandra R Agrawal Infracon on 31 March 2017 by the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation (NHIDCL) at an estimated cost of Rs 82.57 crore.
