The iconic bridge .It's electrical colour effect on night is very astonishing. Do visit the bridge after 6:30 pm in winter or after 7:15 pm in summer.The night view is totally awesome.Very busy part of the city.Traffic managed meaningfully.You can enjoy the view of river. I suggest just walk on this bridge once you will definitely feel so clam and peaceful.

The night view is totally awesome. In daylight the view from one end to another end of city crossing over the river is great. Though you can find tremendous crowd walking through the bridge which literally shakes the roads and you can feel it. Near by there is the railway station. The area is enormously crowded.
