The banks and the enormous bridge
The Howrah Bridge (officially: Rabindra Setu - named after Rabindranath Tagore, the Indian philosopher, poet, painter, composer, and musician) is the most important road bridge connecting the two Indian cities of Kolkata and Howrah across the Hugli (Hooghly) River. Built at the end of the British colonial period in India and opened in 1943, the bridge is one of the last large cantilever bridges outside North America to be built using steel truss construction.
