Kuttippuram bridge, Railway bridge in Kerala, India

The concrete bridge spans 370 meters across the Bharathappuzha River, connecting the regions of Tirur and Ponnani in Malappuram district.

The foundation stone was placed on May 8, 1949, by Minister M. Bhaktavatsalam, and the bridge opened on November 11, 1953, under Shanmugha Rajeswara Sethupathi.

The structure inspired the Malayalam poem 'Kuttippuram Palam' by Edasseri Govindan Nair, published in Mathrubhumi Azhchappathippu on February 21, 1954.

The bridge forms part of National Highway 66, establishing a direct route between Kozhikode and Kochi, replacing the previous inland path through Perinthalmanna.

Located near the Mallur Shiva temple, the bridge stands at the intersection of three districts: Palakkad, Malappuram, and Thrissur.
