When you are over 200 years old, you know you have seen history happening. And you know you have been bridging the yesterdays with the todays.
The Wellesley Bridge, built in Seringapatam (Srirangapatna) in 1804 after the fall of Tipu Sultan in the fourth Anglo-Mysore war, still carries traffic today.
Surviving for more than two centuries, this oldest road bridge spans across the River Cauvery in the island town housing the famous temple of Lord Ranganathaswamy.
