The bridge is a toll bridge for vehicles, but is free for bicycles. It is one of the longest bridges of its type in India and one of the longest in Asia.
The bridge is named after the 19th century Bengali reformist Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar. Vidyasagar SetuThe bridge also has sister bridges over the river at different points, namely the Howrah Bridge (Rabindra Setu) and the Vivekananda Setu.

@sady: I have created two models. This is the second one. I discovered a trick while uploading the model. The model I created earlier ( http://www.3dvia.com/XQH_XXX/models/AC314EA2B48698AA ) was having space issue as It was already over 9.7mb so what I did is that
1. I again open the model in 3dvia then use “Publish As” to create another copy of existing one.
2. Then open the dummy model & delete all the details that I can create later & save it.
3. I download the 3dxml file & zip it. Then using “Upload” option I uploaded the model.
4. Mraculously the size this time comes just 1.2mb :) so I am able to complete the model & in bonus added few cars to make it real.
Both the earler version & new version is available in 3dvia.
This model helps me to discover the trick of how to upload models of larger sizes :) This model is now a part of tips tricks group.
now that’s cool
i knew about it but never used it with a 3dxml file,beacuse it needed to be mine,and didn’t needed one until now
