Lal Mandi Footbridge

About

The Lal Mandi Footbridge is a suspension-type pedestrian bridge located in the city of Srinagar in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It connects Wazir Bagh areas of the city to the city centre Lal Chowk. Completed in July 2005, it was the first of its kind in the region and connects the Wazir Bagh locality to Lal Chowk, easing pedestrian movement and reducing ferry dependency. The bridge played a key role in decongesting nearby roadways and enhancing walkability in the city center. In 2019, it was upgraded with programmable RGB facade lighting under the Srinagar Smart City initiative to improve its nighttime visibility and aesthetics.
