The Howrah Bridge is highlighted for its historical significance.
The bridge is described as being over 80 years old.
The bridge is noted for its construction without pillars.

What's wrong
The claim that the video shows changes in the surrounding area after a change in government is not directly supported by the provided web context. While one source mentions changes in government policies related to LPG and construction, it doesn't explicitly link these to visible changes in the Howrah area depicted in the video.
The audio transcript mentions the Howrah Railway Station, but the web context primarily focuses on the Howrah Bridge itself and its historical and structural significance, not the railway station's current state or changes.
The claim about a tunnel going under the road in Howrah is not verifiable from the provided web context.
Breakdown
The provided web context confirms that the video is indeed about the Howrah Bridge in Kolkata and highlights its historical significance, age (over 80 years old), and architectural aspects (built by British architects, without pillars). However, the claim that the video shows changes in the surrounding area after a change in government is not directly supported by the provided sources.
While one source mentions government policies and construction, it doesn't confirm the video's depiction of such changes. The mention of a tunnel is also not verifiable from the provided context. [1][2][3]
