I am Going to Take all of you to one of the beautiful places in Rajahmundry,East Godavari Dist.



"The Three Bridges on River Godavari at Rajahmundry"




This is the newest bridge and was constructed by the Hindustan Construction Company.


The New Godavari Bridge as viewed from Godavari railway station. One can see the other end of the bridge quite clearly as the bridge is dead-straight. Notice also a future provision for doubling of the line on the right hand side.

Havlock bridge provides an intersting foreground for the ultra-modern rail bridge which was finished in the mid 90s. The distance between them is not much. The one in the foreground is the now decomissioned Havelock bridge built in 1900, while The one in the background is the 70s vintage Road-cum-Rail bridge.



The New Godavari Bridge: Constructed by the Hindustan Construction Company (HCC), this bridge is a modern day engineering feat. It is a unique bridge that is based on 28 bow string arch girders with equal spans of 97.5 m, thus making the total length 2.730 km. The bridge is fit for 250 kmph services.

The old Havelock bridge across Godavari at Rajahmundhry that was retired after more than a century of service. More than 100 years old, it still stands strong and sturdy.



The third bridge across Godavari in twilight. Between Rajahmundhry and Kovvur.





The Old Godavari Bridge or the Havelock Bridge: Now decomissioned, this bridge has 56 spans and is 2.754 kms long. It was constructed with stone masonry and steel girders and certainly a marvel of British engineering.





The road-cum-rail bridge on River Godavari as seen from the road. A slightly different angle to accomodate the whole length of the bridge.

The Godavari Bridge : Probably the second longest rail bridge in India. The bridge delivering the Prashanthi at Rajamundhry. Note the double masts for support.
