Tala Bridge, Transportation bridge in North Kolkata, India
The Hemanta Setu bridge extends 750 meters across Barrackpore Trunk Road, connecting multiple neighborhoods through six bowstring arch steel structures.
The bridge underwent complete reconstruction in 2020, replacing an older structure, and reopened in September 2022 after a two-year construction period costing 468 crore rupees.
The bridge serves as a central meeting point for residents of North Kolkata, connecting different commercial zones and residential districts of the metropolitan area.
The structure can support vehicles up to 385 tonnes according to load testing by IIT-Kharagpur, with current restrictions limiting access to light vehicles.
A 240-meter section spans over the Tala railway tracks, making it a central infrastructure element in the transportation network of North Kolkata.
