Gouranga Bridge, Road bridge in Nabadwip, India
Gouranga Bridge is a road bridge that spans approximately 600 meters across the Bhagirathi River. It connects Nabadwip and Krishnanagar, two important cities in West Bengal.
Construction started in 1972 and was completed in 1983, creating a modern crossing over the river. This project addressed the growing need for transport connections between the two cities.
The bridge connects Nabadwip, a major pilgrimage hub, with Krishnanagar, known for its artistic traditions. This link enables people to move between two centers that shape the region's spiritual and creative life.
Thousands of vehicles use the bridge daily, making it a busy crossing point. Plan your visit or crossing for quieter times if you prefer lighter traffic conditions.
It was constructed using hollow sphere technology, which allows engineers to access internal structures directly. This innovative design makes maintenance and repairs significantly more straightforward than in typical bridge construction.
