Habba Kadal, Historic bridge in Srinagar, India.

The wooden bridge spans 80 meters across the Jhelum River, connecting different sections of Srinagar with its 7-meter-wide passage for vehicles and pedestrians.

Sultan Habib Shah of the Shah Miri Dynasty constructed the original bridge in 1551, which required reconstruction after severe floods damaged it in 1893.

The bridge bears the name of Habba Khatoon, a notable figure in Kashmiri history, representing the intersection of local heritage and infrastructure.

The structure underwent extensive renovations from 2013 to 2015, resulting in improved stability and safety for the numerous daily commuters crossing the Jhelum River.

Despite initial plans for demolition, local authorities preserved this bridge as a heritage structure, maintaining its role in connecting the old city neighborhoods.
