Why go

It is a cantilever bridge with a suspended span over the Hooghly River, and was built without any nut or bolts. The bridge was commissioned in 1943 by Braithwaite, Burn & Jessop Construction Company, replacing the older pontoon bridge. It took over six years to build, and the entire project cost ₹25 million.
