I'll be taking this review. What I think I'll start with is fixing some of the image sizing/layout problems for myself and then I'll see about the content and the criteria for that. Grandiose ( me, talk, contribs) 20:55, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
It's pretty clear to me that the "Features" section should be merged with "Design" and the number of images in the first three sections reduced. I suggest that the evening sunset and one of the images in the "Design" section do not add anything to the article.
The standard of grammar throughout is that of Indian English, which is needlessly confusing to the audience, in my opinion. Although ENGVAR allows for regional variations, it's designed to cover a different set of issues to these:
As well as these issues in the first half of the article, the mixture of technical jargon and what appears to be poor grammar (by standards of International English) makes the construction difficult to read or understand:
The problem is that I think you're taking most of this straight out of what is a technical manual designed from engineers. It needs to be reworked to be more accessible to an intelligent but non-specialist reader. Using alternative sources would help greatly.
References #2 and #7 should be formatted more consistently using () brackets rather than {}.
There seem to be some notable areas missing: any post-construction history - incidents, repairs or alterations, or other bridges opening nearby; and the current daily usage of the bridge - I don't think the capacity can be taken to be the actual usage, as implied by the infobox.
I'll have a look at image copyright when some of my other concerns have been addressed. I'm placing the article on hold for at least seven days. Grandiose ( me, talk, contribs) 21:17, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

I've made some tweaks to the lead and I'm passing the article. Sorry it's taken so long, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, so to speak. Grandiose ( me, talk, contribs) 10:37, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
I did a few copy edits to the article. Please check that there are no inadvertent changes of meaning. Here are a few things I noticed:
The correct date is as given in the imopratan year wise events published in the book by Bhattacharjee. Page 272 of the book gives this reference to the date which has been motioned in reference 7 of the artcile.
The original name was Calcutta which was changed to Kolkatta a few years ago. It is diamabuage page now. However I have calrified in the lead section.

Thank you for the copy edits. They are all fine and no confusion is created by the changes made. I have also replied below your review observations. I have now complied with all observations. Thanks.-- Nvvchar. 06:39, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
and when commissioned on October 10, 1992, it became the longest span bridge of this type in the world.[6] At that time it was the first cable-stayed bridge in India, the largest in Asia and the third largest in the world
First sentence (referecned) say it was the longest span. Second sentence say it was the 3rd largest(different definition?). From List of largest cable-stayed bridges there appear to be two cable-stayed bridges that were open and had longer spans.
Note: Vidyasagar Setu isn't metioned on List of largest cable-stayed bridges and it should be. ShakyIsles ( talk) 02:48, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
How is the Vidyasagar Setu the longest Cable Stayed Bridge in India? At 5km+, the Bandra Worli Sea Link is a longer cable stayed bridge. -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 20:04, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
