Zero Bridge, Wooden bridge in Srinagar, India
Description
Zero Bridge is a wooden pedestrian crossing over the Jhelum River in Srinagar that links two neighborhoods. The structure uses traditional timber construction to span the water and accommodates foot traffic across its length.
History
The bridge was built in the 1950s during the early development of Srinagar and originally carried vehicle traffic. In the 1980s it was closed to vehicles and converted to serve foot traffic only.
Culture
The wooden structure displays carved details that reflect the handiwork of Kashmiri carpenters over generations. These decorative elements show how local builders have traditionally worked with wood in this region.
Practical
The bridge is open around the clock for pedestrians and can be easily reached from nearby streets. Local shops and small cafes are located at both ends, making it convenient for visitors to take a break.
Did you know?
