The newly constructed box bridge at Tagore Park in Kolkata has successfully passed its load test, marking a significant milestone in the city's infrastructure development. This test is crucial for assessing the bridge's structural integrity and safety, ensuring it can handle the expected traffic flow without issues.

The bridge, which is part of a broader initiative to improve traffic conditions in the area, underwent rigorous testing to simulate the stresses and strains it will face under normal operational conditions. The successful completion of this test is a positive indication that the bridge is well-prepared to support the heavy daily traffic of one of the city's busiest regions.

The completion of the load test not only signifies a technical success but also boosts public confidence in the safety and reliability of the city's transport infrastructure. It ensures that the bridge will be a durable and stable addition to Kolkata's road network, supporting seamless travel and enhancing overall traffic management in the city.
