On our way to river cruise, I could click some pics which very well depict the chaos on Kolkota roads. The city roads were well lighted , which was a pleasant surprise as I have heard a lot about Kolkata power cuts and crimes.

Howrah Bridges
In this picture, both the old and new Hawrah bridges can be seen.
The yellow lighted bridge is the old howrah bridge. It was commissioned in 1943. Howrah bridge is a cantilever bridge with a suspended span over the Hooghly river. It replaced a pontoon bridge at the same location, joining the twin cities of Howrah and Kolkata. On 14th July, 1965, it was named Rabindra Setu after the great Bengali poet Rabinderanath Tagore.
The blue lighted bridge is the second Howrah bridge is the longest cable bridge in India. It's named after the educationist reformer Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar.
