The Howrah Bridge is called a cantilever bridge because its design incorporates cantilevers—structures that project horizontally into space and are supported only on one end. This allows the bridge to span the Hooghly River without the need for numerous supporting piers in the water, which enhances its stability and aesthetic appeal. Its innovative design, using steel and a truss system, enables it to carry heavy loads while maintaining structural integrity.
