New Yamuna Bridge
The New Yamuna Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge located in Prayagraj[2][3][4] The bridge was constructed by the end of 2004 with the aim of minimizing the traffic over the Old Naini Bridge.[5] The bridge runs North-South across the Yamuna river connecting the city of Prayagraj to its neighborhood of Naini. The construction was consulted by COWI A/S, a Danish consulting company. Main construction was done by Hyundai and was successfully completed in 2004[5][6].

gollark: It does look nice. I'm probably just oversensitive to these things.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: Also, I find it kind of ironic that a minimalist (well, design-wise) website ends up taking about 5 seconds to load fully, and according to my browser devtools pulls down 6MB of fonts, images, scripts and whatever else. Which is... unfortunately pretty much the standard with the internet now.
gollark: Wait, *final* book? I wonder how it's going to end up resolving everything.
