About
One of the world's busiest cantilever bridges, connecting Kolkata to Howrah across the Hooghly river without a single nut or bolt in its entire suspended span, every joint is riveted.
Did you know? Howrah Bridge was built without using a single nut or bolt in its main span, the entire structure is held together by riveted joints, a construction technique now considered almost impossible to replicate at this scale.
