Howrah Bridge in Kolkata, India, is a cantilever bridge that spans the Hooghly River, connecting the cities of Howrah and Kolkata. Completed in 1943, it stands as a marvel of engineering and one of the busiest bridges in the world. The bridge, also known as Rabindra Setu, is approximately 705 meters long and 30 meters wide. It carries a significant amount of daily traffic, including pedestrians, vehicles, and even livestock. Notably, Howrah Bridge does not have any nuts or bolts, as it was constructed using riveting techniques.
