The Godavari Arch Bridge is a bowstring-girder bridge that spans the Godavari river in Rajahmundry, India. It is the latest of the three bridges that span the Godavari river at Rajahmundry. The Havelock Bridge being the earliest, was built in 1897, and having served its full utility, was decommissioned in 1997. The second bridge known as the Godavari Bridge is a truss bridge and is Asias second longest railroad bridge. The bridge is one of the longest span prestressed concrete arch bridge in Asia. The Indian Railways who built this bridge have stated that It is perhaps for the first time anywhere in the world that a bowstring arch girder using concrete has been constructed for such a long span of 97.55 metres (320.0 ft), and that too for the Railway loading. It has been widely used to represent Rajahmundry in arts, media, and culture. It is one of the recognised symbols of Rajahmundry. The bridge is built across the Godavari River, the largest river in South India at over 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) length. It is built in the region as the river enters into the deltaic reach before discharging into the sea 60 kilometres (37 mi) downstream of the bridge. At the location of the bridge the Godavari river flows with a width of about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi), split in two channels with an island formation in between. The maximum discharge observed in the river is reported to be around 3 million m3/s and the maximum velocity of water flow as 5 metres (16 ft) per second. The bridge is located in a cyclonic area where the wind speed touch 200 kilometres (120 mi) per hour. The bridge is located in two channels, the Kovvur channel and the Rajahmundry channel, and hence the bridge is also known as the Kovvur-Rajahmundry Bridge. The Rajahmundry channel has a deep rocky bed, and even the water level is 18–20 metres (59–66 ft). Comparatively the Kovur channel is shallow with a water depth of about 8–10 metres (26–33 ft) and riverbed is made up of clay deposits.

Heritage and one of beautiful architectural places and one should visit and have scenic view of river godavari

Looks beautiful .

An iconic bridge of rajahmundry on the banks is river Godavari connecting with kovvuru.This is the latest rail connecting bridge after the oldest one was decommissioned. Trains that go through Godavari stain track do pass by this bridge. Its a nice view from there as it goes near the Sivalingam and pusukar ghat. You can even see kotilingala revu and other bridges. If there is no haze, one can even see the farthest dowlesawaram barrage.
