Nivedita Setu, Cable-stayed bridge in Bally and Baranagar, India
The Nivedita Setu extends 880 meters across the Hooghly River, featuring a multi-span extradosed design with a width of 29 meters.
Construction of the bridge began in April 2004 to replace the aging Vivekananda Setu, which had been operating since 1932.
The bridge takes its name from Sister Nivedita, an educator and social reformer who made significant contributions to Indian society.
The bridge accommodates an average of 48,000 vehicles daily and connects National Highway 2 with the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport.
Nivedita Setu earned recognition from the American Segmental Bridge Institute as India's first multi-span cable-supported extradosed bridge.
