Completed in 1943 this cantilever bridge stretches over the Hooghly River making it a vital transportation link for millions of people every day.

The Howrah Bridge (or Rabindra Setu) is a cantilever 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. 

The bridge weathers the storms of the Bay of Bengal region, carrying a daily traffic of approximately 100,000 vehicles and possibly more than 150,000 pedestrians, easily making it the busiest cantilever bridge in the world.

Howrah Bridge is an iconic landmark in Kolkata, India. It is a massive steel structure that spans over the Hooghly River, connecting the city of Kolkata with the bustling district of Howrah. Built in 1943, it is one of the busiest bridges in the world and is an essential part of the city's transportation infrastructure.

As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences, but I can describe what it is like to cross Howrah Bridge from the perspective of a visitor.

Firstly, the bridge itself is an impressive sight to behold. The sheer size of it is awe-inspiring, and the steel framework looks almost otherworldly against the backdrop of the river and the cityscape. From a distance, it appears almost like a giant spiderweb suspended in mid-air.

As you approach the bridge, the traffic around you begins to increase, and you can feel the hum of activity in the air. Cars, buses, and trucks jostle for space on the narrow lanes, while pedestrians weave in and out of the gaps between them.

Once you're on the bridge, the experience is both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. The bridge is over 1500 feet long, and it takes several minutes to cross it entirely. The traffic is constant and unrelenting, and the air is thick with the sounds of car horns, engines revving, and people shouting.

Despite the chaos, there is a sense of order to the movement of traffic. Cars, buses, and trucks all follow the same path, and everyone seems to know their place on the road. It's almost like a dance, with vehicles moving in perfect synchronization.

As you look out over the river, you can see boats and ferries passing beneath the bridge, and the water is a constant source of movement and activity. The view from the bridge is spectacular, with the river stretching out in both directions and the city skyline visible in the distance.

In conclusion, crossing Howrah Bridge is an unforgettable experience. It's not for the faint of heart, but for those who are willing to brave the chaos, it's a journey that offers a unique perspective on the city of Kolkata and its bustling energy

Howrah bridge is one of the important tourist place in kolkata which connect howrah to kolkata. It's total length is about 700m. I crossed it by walking.

Rabindra Setu is a "cantilever bridge" over the Hooghly River in West Bengal, India. It connects Howrah to Kolkata. Its original name was "New Howrah Bridge" which was changed to 'Rabindra Setu' on 14 June 1965. But even now it is more known as "Howrah Bridge". It is the sixth largest bridge of its kind. I have some photos of Howrah Bridge. Seriously, this is a wonder in itself.

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 Ravindranath Tagote, who was the first Indian and Asian Nobel.
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 Vidya Sagar setu  (popularly called the Second Hooghly Bridge Vivekanand setu
It weathers the storms of the Bay of Bengal region, carrying a daily trafficof approximately 100,000 vehicles.

This is the true that Howrah Bridge is beautiful bridge as also in the seven wonders.
I am sharing my reviews as in past at the middle of bridge there was a police both but now days there no any police both etc. I think if there police both then there will be good controlling.

Very important and busy bridge. It connects Howrah with Kolkata. Howrah station is very close to the Howrah side of the bridge.

Each city is represented by a picture like we have Eiffel Tower to symolise Paris, Taj Mahal of Agra. So also Howrah Bridge symbolises Kolkata. It is a cantilever suspension bridge which was constructed in 1943 and connects Howrah with Kolkata. Though renamed Rabindra Sethu it is better known as Howrah Bridge. On sighting it as the train pulls into the platform we know that we have reached our destination. It looks beautiful when lit up at night, The Hooghly flowing below is beautiful to behold with ferry boats, fishing boat and bathers. It is perhaps the busiest cantilever bridges with a vehicular traffic of more than 100.000 and a pedestrian traffic of easily a 100,000. In the seventies it used to be so jammed up that commuters who had to catch trains would not be able to cross this bridge and would engage porters and run with their luggage only to see their train leave the station. But now with the New Howrah Bridge constructed such things don't happen. The Mullick Ghat flower Market, vegetable market and carts filled with goods being pulled by men is a common sight. There is no dull moment here.

We see it from the Howrah Bridge.
One of the only wonder bridges in West Bengal.
This rain is a hanging bridge that moves all the time on this bridge.

The bridge is definitely an architectural marvel worth seeing. We went at 6 in the morning, and found that that place was already alive and kicking, with wholesale of flowers going on for local temples. Besides the bridge, the whole place was something definitely worth seeing. I'd suggest you visit the place before 9am, to get the true feel of the place.

World’s fourth busiest Cantilever bridge is situated on the River Hooghly and connects the western bank of Kolkata to the eastern bank of Howrah. This bridge acts as the lifeline of Kolkata city and offers its best view from the centre of the river, although photography is restricted here.

This bridge, which handles a regular traffic of roughly 60,000 vehicles and uncountable pedestrians, is now popularly called Rabindra Setu after Rabindranath Tagore. In 1939, the construction of
bridge began, owing to the communication problem between Howrah and the-then three villages of Sutanuti, Kolkata and Gobindopur. With time, Howrah emerged to be the largest railway station in West Bengal and the centre of the metropolitan city of Kolkata.

Moreover, it was put up at the time of the 2nd World War to allow access for the Allied powers to the Burmese front. Previously there was a pontoon bridge constructed by Sir Bradford Leslie in 1874. This structure was redesigned and made into the Howrah Bridge in 1942, which was opened to the public for use since February 1943. An approximate figure of Rs. 333 crore was invested to create the strong structure of Howrah Bridge.

The bridge had two sections that covered the entire pool joining both the sides. The bridge was also lighted up by electricity. The length of the bridge was 1528 ft.and its width was 62 ft. There are two 7 ft.wide pavements on both sides of the bridge for the pedestrians and the 48 ft.road with 8 lanes allows passage of traffics and serves commuters 24 hrs.  

An unique and grandeur bridge one of its own kind which must have the heritage tag. Millions cross the bridge from both side since it was build. An amazing view at sunset/night fro the mid river. In spite of its drawbacks you will instantly fell in love. For me it is a love at first sight and continues even after 70 years. Still I like to see it whenever I enter Kolkata. Just nostalgic. Also a panoramic view of the ghats and some great buldings of Kolkata and Howrah. It may look chaotic to a first time visitor but that is the way of life I enjoy too.
