Constructed between 1937 and 1941, the Coronation Bridge was built to commemorate the coronation of King George VI. The bridge was designed by A.C. Mitra, a British engineer, and its construction was a significant feat of engineering at the time. It served as a crucial link between the Dooars region and the rest of India, facilitating trade and transportation. During World War II, the bridge played a vital role in supplying troops and resources to the eastern front. Over the years, the Coronation Bridge has become a symbol of resilience and enduring strength, witnessing historical events and continuing to serve as a vital transportation route. The bridge stands as a testament to British engineering and a reminder of the region's colonial past.
