Walk,
drive
or
take
the
train
across
the
impressive
Vivekananda
Setu(also
known
as
Bally
Bridge
or
Willingdon
Bridge),one
of
several
bridges
on
the
Hooghly
that
straddles
the
Hooghly
River.
This
multi-span
crossing
links
Dakshineswar
in
Kolkata
with
Bally
in
the
Howrah
district.
This
striking-looking
steel
bridge
provides
a
great
vantage
point
to
view
life
on
the
Hooghly
River,
the
body
of
water
that
flows
along
the
western
edge
of
Kolkata.
You
can
also
pass
under
the
bridge
by
renting
a
boat
from
one
of
the
riverβs
jetties
or
by
taking
a
cruise
from
Kolkata.
To
admire
this
impressive
engineering
feat
up
close,
stroll
along
the
walkway
and
pause
to
study
the
network
of
girders.
Take
your
time
to
enjoy
the
views
of
river
life.
See
dozens
of
boats
making
their
way
downstream
and
upstream
and
observe
the
bathing
ghats,
which
are
steps
that
lead
down
into
the
river.
At
night,
the
Bally
Bridge
presents
an
even
more
stunning
site
when
its
latticework
of
beams,
struts
and
girders
is
illuminated.
