LANSDOWNE BRIDGE & SATEEN JO AASTAN- SUKKUR
The Lansdowne Bridge (Sindhi لينسڊائون پل; Urdu: لینس ڈاؤن پل) is a 19th century bridge that spans the Indus River between the cities of Sukkur and Rohri, in the Sindh province of Pakistan. When completed in 1889, the bridge was the longest rigid girder bridge in the world. The Ayub Bridge was built immediately adjacent to the bridge in 1962, and so photographs of the Landsdown Bridge usually also show the Ayub Bridge.
Rohri, also known as Sateen Jo Aastan is the resting place for the Seven Female-friends. According to folklore these female friends resided here. These unmarried female-friends veiled themselves from all males, a practice called purdah (the practice of preventing men from seeing women). But for the fear of a tyrannical raja resulted in their disappearance, possibly in a cave in the side of a hill. Thus they became satti. It is probable that this folklore has its origins in the Hindu ritual of sati, an inhumane ritual where widows burnt themselves or were burnt on their dead husband's pyre.
THE MAGNIFICENT LANSDOWNE BRIDGE, SUKKUR,(PAKISTAN)
The Lansdowne Bridge Rohri was a railway bridge in present day Pakistan.
A marvel of nineteenth century engineering, the 'longest rigid girder bridge in the world' at that time, was begun in 1887.[1] The Indus Valley State Railway had reached Sukkur in 1879 and the steam ferry which transported eight wagons at a time across the Indus was found to be cumbersome and time consuming. Designed by Sir Alexander Meadows Rendel, the girder work weighing a massive 3,300 tons was erected by F.E. Robertson, and Hecquet. The ferry link between Rohri and Sukkur became redundant when Lord Reay Governor of Bombay. Deputizing for Lord Lansdowne, the viceroy, inaugurated the Bridge on March 25, 1889.

As summer comes early to Sukkur and the heavy European - style uniforms of the time would have been uncomfortable, the opening ceremony took place early in the morning. At the ceremony, Lord Reay unlocked a highly ornamental padlock (designed by J.L. Kipling, CIE, Principal of the Mayo School of Art in Lahore and father of Joseph Rudyard, the famous poet and author) which held shut the cumbersome iron gates guarding entry to the bridge. The gathered dignitaries then walked across the bridge and adjourned to breakfast followed by toasts under a shaman (Berridge 1967:128). The bridge provided the railway link between Lahore, in the heart of the granary of British India, and the port of Karachi on the Arabian Sea.
When the great steel Ayub arch was constructed (1960--1962), railway traffic was shifted there. About a hundred feet apart, the two bridges seem like one from a distance. The Ayub arch became the world's third longest railway arch span and the first bridge in the world to have the Railway desk slung on coiled wire rope suspenders. Dr. D.D. Steinman of New York, proponent of 'vocational aesthetics' designed this graceful bridge which cost about two crore rupees. The foundation stone was laid on December 9, 1960. A tribute to American and British engineers, it was opened by President Muhammad Ayub Khan on May 6, 1962.

Bridge Over Indus at Sukkur.
On Mar27, Lord Reay, Governor of Bombay Presidency opened the railway bridge over Indus, at Sukkur; which completes the railway communication between India and the fortress of Quetta, in Beloochistan; the permanent military camp of Pishin, and the frontier of Afghanisatan, where the Khojak Amram tunnel, when finished, will bring the railway to the plain of Candahar.It is nearly twenty years since such a bridge was seen to be necessary in connection with the Indus Valley State Railway.
The Indus is broad and flows rapidly between high banks.Fortunately an island named Bukkur lies in mid-stream, and half way betwwen the opposite towns of Sukkur and Rohri.Sukkur is on the right bank and Rohri on the left or Indian. The three first crossing named did not contemplate using Bukkur Island, and one after another they were given up.The Rohri-crossing itself, which utilised that island was finally set aside in favour of an improved crossing known as the Hadji Moti --the difference between the two being that the bridge from Bukkur to Rohri is a little lower than that from Sukkur to Bukkur.
The bridge from Sukkur to Bukkur consists of three spans, the longest of which is 271 ft., is composed of ordinary girders, and was completed as long ago as March, 1885. The more remarkable engineering feat is the bridge from Bukkur to Rohri, generally designated as the Sukkur Bridge. This was made on the cantilever principle. The breadth of the bridge is 790 ft. From each side projects a cantilever of 310 ft., and the connecting link is supplied by a girder 200ft in length.
The bridge was designed by Sir A.Rendel, and was constructed by Messrs. Westwood and Baillie, of Poplar. It was sent out in pieces and fitted on the spot under the direction of Mr.F.E.Robertson, the superintending engineer, within six months of their arrival on the Indus.It was named after the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viceroy of India. Our illustration is from a photograph by Mr.F.Bremner, of Kurrachee.
Sukkur is situated in the centre of Sind province, Pakistan on the west bank of the River Indus opposite its twin town of Rohri. The town has traditionally been of military importance due its location at a strategic crossing point of the river. It was occupied by the British in the 19th century as it was part of their route to the Bolan Pass in Baluchistan. In 1845 however an outbreak of 'jungle fever' among the 78th Highlanders killed 500 men, women and children and the town was abandoned.

The Lansdowne Bridge Rohri is a former railway bridge over the Indus River in Sindh, Pakistan. A marvel of 19th-century engineering, the longest 'rigid' girder bridge in the world at that time, it was begun in 1887 and inaugurated in 1889. It was designed by Sir Alexander Meadows Rendel; the girder work, weighing a massive 3,300 tons, was manufactured in London by the firm of Westwood, Baillie and erected by F.E. Robertson, and Hecquet. The bridge permitted trains from Karachi towards the north to cross the Indus without using a ferry service, and railway link between Lahore, in the heart of the granary of British India, and the port of Karachi on the Arabian Sea.
When the great steel Ayub arch was constructed (1960–1962), railway traffic was shifted there. About a hundred feet apart, the two bridges seem like one from a distance. The Ayub arch became the world's third longest railway arch span and the first bridge in the world to have the railway desk slung on coiled wire rope suspenders. The consulting engineer was David B. Steinman of New York, proponent of 'vocational aesthetics'.

SUKKUR To Rohri Lense Down Bridge Trian
Lansdowne bridge Sukkur Sindh Pakistan
Sukkur (Sindhi: سکر; Urdu: سکّھر) is a city in the Pakistani province of Sindh along the western bank of the Indus River, directly across from the historic city of Rohri. Sukkur is the third largest city in Sindh after Karachi and Hyderabad and is 14th most populous city in Pakistan.[1] New Sukkur was established during the British era alongside the village of Sukkur. Sukkur's hill, along with the hill on the river island of Bukkur, forms what is sometimes considered the Gate of Sindh,[2] in reference to the city's location along the frontier that separates the historical Sindhi heartland from the Saraiki-speaking regions to the north.
