A closer look
Discover New Yamuna Bridge
The New Yamuna Bridge connects Prayagraj with Naini across the Yamuna. Its cable-stayed design offers a striking modern counterpoint to the city’s temples, gardens and historic buildings.
Enjoy the bridge as part of the river landscape from a safe, permitted viewpoint on the bank. It is a working road crossing, so a photography stop should be planned away from moving traffic.
What to look for
A modern river landmark
Look for the tall pylons and fan of cables that define the bridge’s silhouette.
Changing light
The structure is an interesting photography subject as the daylight changes. Choose a viewpoint where you can stop safely.
Across to Naini
The crossing links the main city with Naini and can form part of a journey towards Arail.
A little planning goes a long way
- Do not stop a vehicle on the bridge or enter the carriageway for photographs.
- Use permitted riverbank viewpoints and follow local security or traffic directions.
- Allow extra travel time when combining locations on opposite sides of the river.
