Nashipur Rail Bridge, Railway bridge in Murshidabad district, India
Nashipur Rail Bridge is a railway crossing in West Bengal that spans the Bhagirathi River to connect two major junction stations. The structure accommodates modern train operations linking the Murshidabad and Azimganj regions together.
The project grew from efforts to improve railway connections in the region, with construction starting in 2006. Following delays related to land acquisition issues, the bridge was completed and opened to service in 2024.
The bridge follows the path of a previous British-era crossing that operated until World War II, reflecting the evolution of rail transport in West Bengal.
You can best view the bridge from the Murshidabad or Azimganj railway stations, since public access to the structure itself is not available. The bridge is part of an active rail line and serves scheduled train traffic.
Local communities pushed for decades to make this project a reality, organizing protest campaigns along the way. Their persistence ultimately resulted in a transport link that brought the regions closer together.
