Native Jetty Bridge, Road bridge in Karachi, Pakistan.
Native Jetty Bridge is a road bridge in Karachi that spans across the harbor waters, connecting the main city with the port district. The structure features two vehicle lanes and serves as the main access point to the adjacent Port Grand complex, which houses food venues and entertainment facilities.
The bridge was built during the British colonial period between 1861 and 1864 and became a key structure for port development in Karachi. Over time, it evolved into part of the modern Port Grand complex, which now integrates the historic structure with contemporary uses.
The bridge area draws people who feed kites with bread and meat, a practice that connects visitors to local traditions tied to the waterfront.
Visitors can best explore this area on foot by starting from M.T. Khan Road and following the walkway to Port Grand. The best time to visit is late afternoon or evening when temperatures are cooler and activity along the waterfront picks up.
The bridge runs parallel to a historic freight rail line known as Chinna Creek Bridge, which shapes the character of the harbor area. This historic rail transport offers a glimpse into the industrial past of the location that remains visible today.
