The Howrah Bridge is one of the busiest cantilever bridges in the world, uniquely identified only by its number. Connecting Kolkata and Howrah, this iconic structure stands as a testament to engineering prowess.
In the late 19th century, the idea of constructing a floating bridge over the Hooghly River, which separates Kolkata and Howrah, was conceived. This initiative arose from the necessity to accommodate the substantial daily movement of ships along the river. The existing bridge caused frequent disruptions to river traffic, as its opening and closing interfered with the continuous flow of ships.
To address this issue, the decision was made to build a new bridge that would not obstruct the passage of ships. Thus, the Howrah Bridge was envisioned, designed to allow uninterrupted maritime traffic while serving as a vital link between the two bustling cities. This engineering marvel not only facilitated smoother transportation but also became an iconic symbol of Kolkata's architectural heritage.
