Howrah Bridge, also known as the Rabindra Setu, is a bridge over the Hoogli River in West Bengal, India. It is so named as it links the city of Howrah, near Howrah Station, to its twin city of Kolkata (Calcutta).
The bridge is said to be the busiest in the world.

The bridge is said to be the busiest in the world.
The bridge was built between 1937 and 1943 to replace a bridge from 1874, and is said to be the busiest bridge in the world.
It is 97 metres high and 705 metres long. It is a cantilever truss bridge, constructed entirely by riveting, without nuts or bolts. It is currently used as a road bridge, but previously had a tram route as well.
The bridge also has sister bridges over the river at different points, namely the Vidyasagar Setu and the Vivekananda Setu.
Its name was also used to christian a bollywood movie of the 50's starring Madhubala, and Ashok Kumar
