The '''Lansdowne Bridge''' was a railway bridge over the River Indus in upper [[Sind]] which connected the towns of [[Sukkur]] and [[Rohri]].
The [[Indus Valley State Railway]] had reached [[Sukkur ]] in 1879 and the steam ferry that transported eight wagons at a time across the Indus between [[Rohri ]] and [[Sukkur ]] was found to be cumbersome and time-consuming. The opening of the Lansdowne Bridge in 1889 solved this bottleneck and thus port of [[Karachi]] was connected to the railway network.
