Coronation Bridge (Sevoke)
করোনেশন সেতু
A single-arch stone bridge completed in 1941 across the Teesta gorge, framed by green river water and forest. It is the iconic gateway to the Dooars.
Coronation Bridge was built to commemorate the coronation of King George VI. Completed in 1941, its single arch spans the Teesta River gorge. Two tiger statues stand at the bridge ends, and locals call it the 'Tiger Bridge' (Bagh Pul). There are viewpoints by the bridge overlooking the emerald Teesta River and the plains where the gorge opens out. It lies on the national highway from Siliguri to the Dooars, so it is a convenient stop on the way from Bagdogra Airport to Lataguri. Stopping on the bridge is prohibited; please get out at the viewpoint to take photos.
