The Rivet-Built Gateway to Kolkata Howrah Bridge, officially renamed Rabindra Setu in 1965, is a steel cantilever bridge over the Hooghly River linking Howrah and Kolkata, West Bengal. Opened to traffic in 1943, it stretches roughly 705 metres and was famously assembled with rivets rather than nuts and bolts, its suspended main span slung between two 82-metre towers with no piers standing in the river.
