Glorious Ferozepur- Kasur ( Empress Bridge ) Over Sutlej

The Majestic Road ( on top ) cum Rail Bridge at Hussainiwala ( Ferozepur ), inaugurated on 02 March 1887 , was dismantled during the 1971 War. Its piers are intact.

This bridge should be restored

The Bridge was an engineering marvel. It can be a heritage site.
