Coronation Bridge, Concrete arch bridge across Teesta River, Darjeeling District, India
The Coronation Bridge spans over the Teesta River with a massive concrete arch structure connecting different regions of the Darjeeling district through mountain roads.
Built in 1941 during British rule, the bridge received its name to commemorate the coronation of King George VI, marking colonial infrastructure development.
The bridge functions as a central meeting point for local communities, connecting various ethnic groups from Kalimpong to other parts of West Bengal.
Travelers can access the bridge via multiple road networks that link to major cities in West Bengal, with regular maintenance ensuring safe passage.
The structure demonstrates early 20th-century engineering techniques, incorporating locally sourced materials to overcome the challenges of mountainous terrain.
