Danyor Bridge, Suspension bridge in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
The Danyor Bridge extends 510 feet across the Hunza River, featuring wooden planks supported by metallic cables with a width of 8 feet.
The bridge replaced traditional rafts called Jaalo in the mid-1960s, marking a significant advancement in transportation infrastructure for the Gilgit region.
Local residents demonstrated resourcefulness by manually excavating a single-lane tunnel at the eastern end without modern engineering tools or equipment.
Currently designated for pedestrians and motorcycles only, the bridge connects Danyor to Karakoram University while a newer concrete bridge handles vehicle traffic.
Northwest valley winds create oscillations in the bridge structure, leading authorities to restrict vehicle access for safety considerations.
