The Howrah Bridge is an Engineering Marvel of India, the concept is based on Cantilever(no support) , it is built arround 1939 with 333 crores of rupees at that time , it is one of the busiest bridge in the world .It was opened to traffic in 1943 . There are only few cantilever Bridge in the world and our Howrah Bridge is one of them. Now it is called Rabindra Setu. So as Indian We should be proud of our Engineering Heritage.
