The Punalur Suspension Bridge is the first motorable bridge in South India. The suspension bridge crossing the river is the only suspended-deck type in South-India. Built in 1877 by Albert Henry across the Kallada River, this huge bridge was suspended by two spans and was used for vehicular movement. Construction took more than six years. It is said that after completion of the bridge people hesitated to walk over the bridge. In order to prove the strength of the bridge the engineer and his family passed under the bridge in a country boat while six elephants were walking over it. Now the bridge is of historical interest and is a major tourist attraction.

An old fashioned engineering marvel. Located in the heart of punalur town. constructed in 1877 it still looks strong. A new bridge has been constructed parallel to the old one.this bridge is now made into a tourist spot by the authorities. You can enjoy your evenings on this bridge which gives you a nice feel.
Build during the British rule in 1877. This hanging bridge/suspension bridge is a historically important structure in Punalur. We are allowed to walk on the bridge, but no vehicles are allowed on the bridge. Located at the heart of punalur, close to railway station and Bus stand. An authorized auto stand is also close by. Many restrooms and hotels near by. It's a strong and beautiful bridge. There Nothing much to engage with, but you can take photographs and enjoy the scenic beauty. There are seating facility available. And also a guard will monitor the entty and exit of the Bridge.
