One of the landmarks in our city. The cleanliness and quality of the roads need attention. Much of it comes from us citizens being more responsible towards the cleanliness of this beautiful structure.

Marvelous drive! However, you can not sail smooth, due to the bumps at the bridge joints, and the scars on the top layer of the road. It is rather marvelous in views due to its architecture view during drive and the view of the river. The Toll here is still not Fastag enabled.

The most loved place for photographers and nature lovers. The bridge seems to attract people for the beautiful scene of Kolkata it offers. During cloudy days a view from that view made me realize how small we are. It is well maintained, the roads are smooth and absolutely no traffic.
