Marked in the Blue F on the map
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The majority of references in historical documents use the spelling Nerbudda – this is the form adopted by Fibis.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’ on the ‘Great Indian Peninsula Railway’ ‘GIPR Itasari-Jubbulpur Section’ was built during 1863-66 [3] and opened through to Jubbulpore in 1870 [4]. The bridge consisted of five 150-foot (46 mtr) spans and three 40-foot (12 mtr) masonry arches at each [3]
It had been intended to reconstruct this bridge on a new alignment during 1927-29, it was however destroyed by a flood on 21 Sept 1926 and a temporary single track trestle was built[3]. The bridge was reconstructed by 1931.
