Cochin bridge, Railway bridge in Palakkad District, India.

The bridge extends across the Bharathapuzha River, connecting the towns of Shoranur and Cheruthuruthy between Palakkad and Thrissur districts.

The construction of this bridge was completed in 1902 with a cost of 84 lakh rupees during the reign of Maharaja Rama Varma Thampuran.

The bridge holds significance in Kerala's transportation history as it facilitated trade connections between the Malabar region and Kingdom of Kochi.

After structural damage in 1989, authorities built a new parallel bridge to maintain the essential transport link between the two districts.

Originally designed as a narrow gauge rail bridge in 1902, it later accommodated bullock carts before being converted to a broad gauge bridge in 1935.
