The Sutlej Bridge also known as the Empress Bridge near Bahawalpur, Punjab (now in Pakistan).

The bridge over the Sutlej was built on twenty-seven brick piers, carried a railway line fifteen feet broad and a cart road of eighteen feet, flanked by footpaths. [1] [2]

One of the Engineers on the project in 1873 was Hugh Lewin Monk from the Public Works Department(PWD) Railway Branch of PWD.
