Ayub Bridge, Railway bridge in Sukkur District, Pakistan.

The steel and iron railway bridge stretches across the Indus River with a main span of 246 meters between Rohri and Sukkur cities.

The bridge opened on May 6, 1962, under President Muhammad Ayub Khan's administration to supplement the older Lansdowne Bridge transport connection.

Engineer David B. Steinman, known for his work on the Brooklyn Bridge reconstruction, designed this structure to meet Pakistan's expanding railway needs.

The bridge carries the Rohri-Chaman railway line across the Indus River, connecting the provinces of Sindh and Balochistan for passenger and freight transport.

The bridge introduced an advanced design feature as the first railway bridge to incorporate suspended decks supported by coiled wire rope suspenders.
