KOLGHAT BRIDGE ON NH 16
The KOLGHAT bridge is key bridge of some 800 meters in lenghth on the RupNarayan river midway between Kharagpur and Kolkata on the NH-16 which connects CHENNAI to KOLKATA..There are seperate rail and road bridges.
I was travelling on this route few years back and mis-took it to be the HOWRAH bridge until a faculty from this part of the world teaching at the Indian Statistical Institute gave me a clear picture of things.This bridge appears vividly on the trail on NH-16.
The city of KOLKATA and its surroundings have many prominent bridges and could be confused with each other; names like the Hoogly Bridge, the Vidyasagar bridge and the Howrah bridge.Each of these bridges must be studied independantly to understand their position and orientation.
