Howrah Bridge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Howrah Bridge is a cantilever bridge that spans the Hooghly River in Kolkata, India. It connects the city of Kolkata on the west bank to Howrah on the east bank. The bridge is 1,500 feet (460 m) long and 150 feet (46 m) wide. It is one of the busiest bridges in India, carrying over 150,000 vehicles and pedestrians every day.<\/p>\n<p>The Howrah Bridge was built in 1943 by the British. It was designed by Sir Gilbert Roberts, who also designed the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The bridge was built using steel and concrete, and it took four years to complete.<\/p>\n<p>The Howrah Bridge is a popular tourist destination. It is also a symbol of Kolkata and India.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Mahatama Gandhi Setu is a cable-stayed bridge that spans the Ganges River in Patna, India.
