This 1870 Bridge changed the way Sutlej was crossed . 

Earlier ,it appears , there used to be a temporary Boat Bridge which was dismantled during floods 

An example of Boat bridge

Some time later , the Double Line Railway Bridge was built ( just upstream  of Old Rail / Road  Bridge ).

Pleas study this Google Pic carefully. You would notice the new aligned in the railway line to adjust for the new railway bridges :-

----------------------------------------------------------

The Old 1870 built Bridge was handed over to PWD and was continued to be used solely as  a Road Bridge

As it was a single railway line bridge , road traffic was alternating One Way Traffic ( as were the Old Beas Bridge at GT Road , Beas and old Yamuna Bridge at Kalanaur ( Yamunanagar- Saharanpur ) .

This road bridge continued to be operational till early 1970 s when the first new road bridge ( just downstream ) was built  ( by Gammon India ).

-------------------------------------------------------------

We wish the old 1870 Historical Bridge be preserved as a National Heritage.

Present state of the Bridge
