Royapuram Harbour bridge (View point)

Balaji k 10 months ago

The Royapuram Harbour bridge view point is an iconic spot of North Madras, offering a spectacular view of the harbour. It is a popular spot for peddlers and motorists to stop and admire the view of the containers being stacked in the inventory and being loaded onto the ships.

From the view point, one can see the hustle and bustle of the harbour, with ships and cranes in motion against the blue waters. The sight of the containers being loaded onto the ships is particularly fascinating, with stacks of colorful containers forming an eye-catching contrast against the blue waters.

Standing on the bridge, gazing at the harbour, I felt a sense of awe at the scale and activity of the place. The view is truly magnificent, and it is a great way to connect with the history and culture of Madras. The night view is particularly mesmerizing, with the lights of the harbour shining like a jewel box.

However, the sad thing about this place is the poor maintenance. There is a need for proper view spaces to be created, and safety measures to be put in place, to encourage more people to visit and appreciate the beauty of the place.

Overall, the Royapuram Harbour bridge view point is a must-visit attraction in Madras. Despite the need for better maintenance, the view of the harbour is truly mesmerizing and a sight to behold.
So, if you are in the area, I highly recommend heading down to the bridge view point to witness the spectacular view of the harbour and enjoy the eldorado of old Madras.

Chennai Port, formerly known as Madras Port, is the second largest container port of India, behind Mumbai's Nhava Sheva. The port is the largest one in the Bay of Bengal. It is the third-oldest port among the 13 major ports of India with official port operations beginning in 1881, although maritime trade started much earlier in 1639 on the undeveloped shore. It is an artificial and all-weather port with wet docks. Once a major travel port, it became a major container port in the post-Independence era. An established port of trade of British India since the 1600s, the port remains a primary reason for the economic growth of Tamil Nadu, especially for the manufacturing boom in South India, and has contributed greatly to the development of the city of Chennai.[8] It is due to the existence of the port that the city of Chennai eventually became known as the Gateway of South India.
