The First rail bridge across the river(1897):
The First Godavari Rail Bridge was built in the year 1897, under the supervision of Er.Walton, a
British Engineer, across the mighty River Godavari connecting East Godavari with West Godavari.
Stretching for three kilometres, constructed with stone masonry and steel girders, this bridge
served the trains plying between Chennai and Howrah. With the increased traffic in goods and
passengers, a rail-cum-road bridge was built a quarter century ago across the downstream of the
river.
