Farakka Setu, Girder bridge in Murshidabad and Malda district, India.
The Farakka Setu spans 5.468 kilometers across the Ganges River, connecting the regions of Murshidabad and Malda district through four traffic lanes.
Construction of the bridge started in January 2019 with an estimated cost of 521 crore rupees, involving collaboration between RKEC Projects and Qingdao Construction Engineering.
The bridge reinforces the connection between North and South Bengal, enabling local communities to maintain stronger social and economic relationships across the Ganges River.
Located 500 meters downstream from Farakka Barrage, this bridge reduces traffic congestion on National Highway 12 while facilitating movement between Farakka and Lakshmipur.
Each lane of the bridge measures 12.5 meters in width, making it one of the tallest bridges in India and the longest bridge in West Bengal.
