Here are some key points about its history: Construction and Naming: The construction of the bridge began on November 11, 1897, and it was completed and opened for traffic on August 30, 1900. It was named after Sir Arthur Elibank Havelock, the then Governor of Madras12. Design and Structure: The bridge was constructed using stone masonry and steel girders, with 56 spans each measuring 45.7 meters (150 feet). The girders were fabricated by the Butterley Company of Ripley, Derbyshire1. Usage: The bridge served as a vital railway link for trains traveling between Howrah and Madras. It was the earliest of the three bridges that span the Godavari River at Rajahmundry12. Decommissioning: After serving for nearly a century, the bridge was decommissioned in 1997. The Godavari Arch Bridge was constructed as its replacement13. Current Status: There have been plans to convert the Havelock Bridge into a tourist spot and pedestrian pathway. The Municipal Corporation of Rajahmundry has expressed interest in beautifying the bridge13. The Havelock Bridge remains an iconic symbol of Rajahmundry’s rich history and engineering heritage.
