Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Howrah Bridge was constructed between 1936 and 1942. It replaced the Floating Pontoon Bridge that connected Howrah and Kolkata (then Calcutta). The Howrah Bridge was opened to public in February 1943. The Howrah Bridge was renamed as Rabindra Setu in 1965, after Rabindranath Tagore, the first Nobel laureate of India.
