Logest Rigid Girder Bridge in 1887

Lansdowne Bridge of Rohri, Pakistan.

A marvel of nineteenth century engineering, the 'longest "rigid" girder bridge in the world' at that time, was begun in 1887. Designed by Sir Alexander Meadows Rendel, the girder work weighing a massive 3,300 tons was erected by F.E. Robertson, and Hecquet.

It is one of it's own kind and gives a glimpse of Sydney Harbor bridge.
