Ayub Bridge

Ayub Bridge (Urdu: ایوب پل ‎) is a railway bridge over the Indus river between Rohri and Sukkur in Sindh province, Pakistan. The foundation stone of this steel arch bridge was laid on 9 December 1960 and inaugurated by President Muhammad Ayub Khan on 6 May 1962. The consulting engineer was David B. Steinman.^[1]

The Ayub Bridge became the world's third longest railway arch span and the first railway bridge in the world to be slung on coiled wire rope suspenders.

On its completion railway traffic was transferred from the adjacent Lansdowne Bridge.^[1]
