Place: BALLY
A view of the bridges at Bally, West Bengal as they cross the Hugli.
Built between 1926 and 1932, well before the Howrah Bridge, the older rounded top bridge was once the main bridge linking south Bengal to its west. The famous Dakshineshwar Temple is very close by.
Today called the Vivekananda Setu, it was earlier called Willingdon Bridge. Today a companion bridge, Nivedita Setu has been built, and together they carry road and rail links.
This was taken from a cruise on a ferry along the Hugli. This is an evening pic, and the sun is already setting. The water was calm, and the breeze delightful.
