The '''Namdang Stone Bridge''' is a historic [[bridge]] located a few kilometers away from [[Sibsagar]] town in Assam, India. It was constructed in 1703 by craftmen brought from Bengal during the reign of Ahom king Rudra Singha. The bridge is {{convert|60|m|ft|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|6.5|m|ft|abbr=on}} wide and {{convert|1.7|m|ft|abbr=on}} high. It runs over the Namdang river, a tributary of the Dikhou river. The present [[National Highway 2 (India)|National Highway 2]] is passing over it. The unique characteristic of the bridge is that it was cut out from a single solid piece of rock hundred years of age.<br />
<br />
The bridge is a little carved in shape.The bridge connects Sibsagar town to Jorhat and other districts in the west.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mapsofindia.com/assam/tourism/namdang-stone-bridge.html|title=Namdang Stone Bridge|publisher=Maps Of India|accessdate=25 April 2010|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090604121320/http://www.mapsofindia.com/assam/tourism/namdang-stone-bridge.html|archivedate=4 June 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Sajnani|first=Manohar |title=Encyclopaedia of tourism resources in India|volume=1|pages=20|chapter=Management Resources|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vdMNBxOsvrUC&pg=PA20&dq=namdang+stone+bridge&cd=1#v=onepage&q=namdang%20stone%20bridge&f=false}}</ref><br />
