One image that constantly makes its way to picture postcards of Kolkata is a picture of this massive structure of steel, Howrah Bridge. Built in the times of the British Raj, this structure is often called one of the finest examples of engineering till date. An interesting feature about the bridge is that no nuts and bolts were used in making of the bridge, instead the structure was made by riveting the steel. Even though the bridge is crowded with all means of transportation possible all day, there is a sense of immense beauty in the way the holy Ganges flows under it incessantly and how the cool breeze envelops this place all day. If you are a morning bird, don’t miss out on watching the breathtaking sight of the sun rising over the glistening waters of the river!

Howrah Bridge is a bridge with a suspended span over the Hooghly River in West Bengal, India. Commissioned in 1943 the bridge was originally named the New Howrah Bridge, because it replaced a pontoon bridge at the same location linking the two cities of Howrah and Kolkata (Calcutta). On 14 June 1965 it was renamed Rabindra Setu after the great Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, who was the first Indian and Asian Nobel laureate It is still popularly known as the Howrah Bridge. The bridge is one of four on the Hooghly River and is a famous symbol of Kolkata and West Bengal. The other bridges are the Vidyasagar Setu (popularly called the Second Hooghly Bridge), the Vivekananda Setu and the newly built Nivedita Setu. It weathers the storms of the Bay of Bengal region, carrying a daily traffic of approximately 100,000 vehicle and possibly more than 150,000 pedestrians easily making it the busiest cantilever bridge in the world. The third-longest cantilever bridge at the time of its construction, the Howrah Bridge is currently the sixth-longest bridge of its type in the world.
