  • It is the oldest Railway Bridge of this world which is in use about 270 ears
  • The world's oldest railway bridge is the Causey Arch, County Durham, England, which dates from 1727! This was a purpose built railway bridge not an adaptation. Pedantry aside it is kind of interesting.
  • it might fall any time now. so sad of the karnataka goverment.
  • Why Karnataka govt.? It is supposed to be taken care by Railways.
