Golden Bridge, Road bridge in Bharuch, Gujarat, India

Golden Bridge is an iron truss road bridge across the Narmada River between Bharuch and Ankleshwar, 1,412 metres (4,633 ft) long and only two vehicle lanes wide. Its straight lattice superstructure rests on solid rectangular piers rising from the water. Sir John Hawkshaw designed it for the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway.

The British began building the iron bridge on 7 December 1877 for the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway, to a design by Sir John Hawkshaw. It opened on 16 May 1881 at a cost of Rs 45.65 lakhs. After independence it carried a national highway until a newer Narmada bridge took most heavy traffic.

The name "Golden Bridge" refers to the heavy expenditure of Rs 45.65 lakhs caused by damage from strong water flow during construction, not to any metal finish. The bridge is also called the Narmada Bridge, and its narrow two-lane deck hosted nightly pilgrim processions during riverside festivals.

The bridge is only two vehicle lanes wide, so it is best crossed outside peak hours; heavy traffic was reduced after a newer Narmada bridge opened. It was temporarily closed to traffic during the September 2023 Bharuch flood, when the river rose about 9 feet above the danger mark. The span is 1,412 metres long, and the riverside vantage point is used as a sunset lookout.

The bridge owes its name to the heavy expenditure caused by damage from strong water flow during construction, not to any golden colour. Inspections in the 1970s and 2000s found only minor corrosion and deformation in the iron superstructure, credited to regular maintenance by Western Railway and later state PWD teams.
