The Lansdowne Bridgewas a railway bridge over the River Indus in upper Sind which connected the towns of Sukkur and Rohri.
Between 1872 and 1882 bridge surveys were conducted and different people suggested 5 different bridge proposals. None of them was considered completely feasible at that time. Alexander Meadows Rendel, Consultant Engineer was then called in and he proposed a design consisting of two anchored cantilevers, each 310 feet long, carrying a suspended span of 200 ft in the middle. Interestingly, this design was considered feasible and later came to be known as the Lansdowne Bridge.
