Officially Rabindra Setu (রবীন্দ্র সেতু Robīndro Setu), the 705 m long Howrah Bridge is one of the iconic bridges of West Bengal.

The bridge was commissioned in 1943 by Braithwaite, Burn & Jessop Construction Company, replacing the older pontoon bridge. It took over six years to build, and the entire project cost ₹25 million.
