Hooghly River Bridge Commissioners (HRBC), a statutory organization now under the Transport Department, Govt. Of West Bengal, was established in 1969 for construction of Vidyasagar Setu. This engineering marvel over the river Hooghly which was inaugurated in 1992 is the longest cable-stayed bridge in the country. By overseeing the construction process of the intricate infrastructure project HRBC has acquired expertise in managing projects of bridge and highway whatever may be its magnitude.

Today HRBC stands for on-time completion of complex engineering projects of exacting standard in the busiest of urban locale.

HRBC successfully implemented Transport Department’s Calcutta Infrastructure Development Projects (CTIDP) under JBIC loan with the objective to improve traffic speed by easing congestions at important critical junctions and corridors of the Kolkata Mega City by implementation of four flyovers and by improvement in a number at-grade junctions including renewal of tram tracks by concretization of pavement.
