Spelling Note

  • ‘Nerbudda’ River’ in the Central Provinces is given in the Imperial Gazetteer [1];
  • ‘Narmada River’ is the alternative name [2].

The majority of references in historical documents use the spelling Nerbudda – this is the form adopted by Fibis.

Note
There are five different railway bridges over the Nerbudda River, we have listed these on a separate page Nerbudda River Railway Bridges
In order to provide clarity Fibis have use the adjacent (Town) and the Railway Company in each Bridge description.


The ‘Nerbudda Bridge’ at Hoshangabad on the ‘Great Indian Peninsula Railway ‘GIPR Itasari-Jubbulpur Section’

In June 1882 the line opened from Itarsi northward to Hoshangabad and with the opening of the bridge the line reached Bhopal in Nov 1884 [3].
This line was originally the ‘Bhopal-Itarsi Railway’, which included the ‘Bhopal State Railway
The line was worked by the ‘Indian Midland Railway’ until 1900
In 1900 the line became part of the GIPR Midland Division
