Matla Setu, Road bridge across Matla River in Canning, India
The Matla Setu spans 644 meters across the Matla River, connecting the towns of Canning and Basanti in West Bengal through a two-path traffic system.
The completion of Matla Setu in January 2011 marked a significant infrastructure development for the Sundarbans region under Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee's administration.
The bridge plays an essential role in connecting local communities of the Sundarbans region, enabling increased social interactions and economic exchanges between previously separated areas.
The bridge provides free passage for vehicles traveling between Canning and Basanti, operating with separate paths for traffic flowing in each direction.
Located at coordinates 22°18′20″N 88°40′46″E, the Matla Setu serves as a primary gateway for tourists and residents accessing the Sundarbans from Kolkata.
