''' ''Spelling Note'' '''
*‘Nerbudda’ River’ in the Central Provinces is given in the Imperial Gazetteer <ref>[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V19_062.gif Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 19, p. 56. ]; Retrieved 29 May 2020</ref>;
* ‘Narmada River’ is the alternative name <ref name=ImpGaz375>[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V18_381.gif Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 18, p. 375-377.]; Retrieved 29 May 2020</ref>.
The majority of references in historical documents use the spelling Nerbudda – this is the form adopted by Fibis.

''' ''Note'' '''
<br>There are five different railway bridges over the Nerbudda River, we have listed these on a separate page '''[[Nerbudda River Railway Bridges]]'''
<br>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]]’ [[Great_Indian_Peninsula_Railway_-_Lines_owned_and_worked#GIPR_North_East_Mainline| ‘GIPR Itasari-Jubbulpur Section’ ]] was built during 1863-66 when that section of the line was constructed. It consisted of five 150-foot (46 mtr) spans and three 40-foot (12 mtr) masonry arches at each end <ref name=Vol232>[https://www.icevirtuallibrary.com/doi/abs/10.1680/imotp.1931.13476 ‘Minutes of the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers’ Vol 232, 1931 pages 155 ’Reconstruction of the Nerbudda Bridge on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway’]; Retrieved 29 May 2020</ref>.

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<ref name=Vol232/>. The bridge was reconstructed by 1931.
