Jhelum Bridge, Road-rail bridge in Jhelum, Pakistan

The iron truss Jhelum Bridge stretches across the Jhelum River, connecting the cities of Jhelum and Sarai Alamgir with both railway tracks and vehicle lanes.

British engineer William St. John Galwey constructed the Jhelum Bridge in 1878 during the period of British India's railway network expansion.

The bridge stands near the ancient battlefield where Alexander the Great confronted King Porus in the Battle of Hydaspes in 326 BCE.

The bridge structure maintains separate paths for trains and vehicles, enabling simultaneous passage of rail and road traffic between the two cities.

The location of the bridge at coordinates 32.9193°N, 73.7365°E marks the intersection of major transportation routes in northern Pakistan.
