The '''Attock Bridge''' is situated between Attock Khurd and Khairabad Kund on Indus river (now in Pakistan.) It is now commonly known as "Old Attock Bridge". This bridge is one of the most important strategic and commercial crossing on the Indus River about 50 miles(80km) south east of Peshawar and between the Punjab and Khyber, hence was heavily fortified. The bridge was opened in 1883 as part of the [[Punjab Northern State Railway]](PNSR) which became [[North Western Railway|North Western State Railway]] in 1886.
