The Empress Bridge, spanning the Sutlej River, is a remarkable feat of 19th-century engineering. Constructed during British rule, this iron bridge served as a vital rail link and remains a symbol of colonial infrastructure. Visitors can walk along the adjacent road to admire the bridge's riveted metalwork and enjoy views of the river below. It's a popular spot for photography and history buffs.
