Jangalkanya Setu, Road bridge in Nayagram, Jhargram district, India.

The Jangalkanya Setu extends across the Subarnarekha River with a total length of 1472 meters and width of 12 meters.

The bridge replaced yearly temporary crossings that frequently failed during rainy seasons, leading to its construction announcement in 2011 and completion in 2016.

The bridge holds significance for the communities of Nayagram and surrounding regions, connecting previously separated populations across the Subarnarekha River.

The two-lane structure reduces travel distance between Nayagram and Kharagpur, serving daily commuters, school children, and commercial vehicles without toll charges.

At the time of its inauguration, Jangalkanya Setu became the longest bridge in West Bengal, constructed at a cost of 170 crore rupees.
