Ishwar Gupta Setu, Road bridge across Hooghly River in West Bengal, India.
The Ishwar Gupta Setu stretches 1,056 meters across the Hooghly River, connecting the regions of Bansberia and Kalyani through its concrete balanced cantilever design.
Construction of the bridge began in 1981 and concluded in 1989, when Chief Minister Jyoti Basu formally opened it to address traffic needs in Hooghly district.
The bridge bears the name of Ishwar Chandra Gupta, a distinguished Bengali poet who made substantial contributions to 19th-century Bengali literature.
The structure carries the Kalyani Expressway, forming a vital connection between National Highway 12 and National Highway 19 for vehicles and pedestrians.
The West Bengal Highway Development Corporation initiates construction of a new bridge due to structural concerns in the existing crossing.
