The old bridge, popularly referred to as 'lohey ka pul' (iron bridge) has witnessed many floods in its over a century-and-a-half journey, so much so that it is also a reference point for measuring danger level for Yamuna water levels.
The historic 150-year-old Yamuna Bridge connecting Calcutta and Delhi on a continuous rail network has been temporarily closed due to flooding of the Yamuna River. Indian Railways officials and experts state that the old bridge is a “priceless heritage of India” and has witnessed the steam era, diesel period and the electric locomotives. While a new Yamuna bridge in Delhi is under construction, parallel to the old one, the nostalgia and colonial-era charm associated with the city's 'lohey ka pul' (iron bridge) will continue.
