The Chenab Bridge at Shershar carried the Sind-Sagar Railway Branch of the North Western Railway over the River Chenab.

The 28 span box girder bridge [1] was under construction in 1888 [2] and completed c.1890 [3].

The construction required special civil engineering techniques developed by James Richard Bell of the Public Works Department [4].

The Executive Engineer in 1887 on the project was Robert Trefusis Mallet. [5].
