Black Bridge, Historic railway bridge in Wellington, India
The Black Bridge stretches 43.5 meters across the Mynala stream, connecting Wellington Cantonment to the Ooty-Coonoor national highway in Tamil Nadu.
Constructed initially in 1858, the bridge underwent multiple reconstructions, including a wooden version in 1878 made from Burmese teak with black tar coating.
In 2009, the structure received the name Manekshaw Bridge to honor Field Marshal SHFJ Manekshaw, who chose Coonoor as his final residence.
The bridge serves as a primary connection point for local traffic, with recent renovations ensuring modern safety standards for vehicles and pedestrians.
A statue of Field Marshal Manekshaw stands at the intersection where the bridge meets National Highway 181, marking this specific location.
