New Yamuna Bridge
नया यमुना पुल
A cable-stayed bridge spanning the Yamuna River and a new city landmark, whose night lights complement the fort on the far bank and the confluence of the rivers.
New Yamuna Bridge opened in 2004 and connects Prayagraj with Naini on the opposite bank. Its main span is about 260 meters, making it one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in India at the time. In the evening the bridge is lit with colored lights reflected in the Yamuna; from the downstream sandbar ghat or from a boat, you can photograph the bridge alongside the old railway bridge and Allahabad Fort. Traffic on the bridge is heavy and it is not suitable for lingering on foot, so it is best viewed from the riverbank or a boat.
