Zero Bridge
The Zero Bridge is an old wooden arch bridge located in the Srinagar city of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. It crosses the Jhelum river in a roughly North-South direction connecting Sonwar in the north to Rajbagh in the South. Originally constructed in the late 1950s under the then prime minister Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad, the bridge was closed for vehicular traffic in the late 1980s owing to the weakening of its wooden structure. == Etymology == Popular reference holds that the bridge was originally named 'Zorr' bridge after the deaf contractor who built it. ('Zorr' in the Kashmiri language means 'deaf').〔 However, officially it is said to have been named Zero Bridge since traditionally the Amira Kadal bridge was regarded as the first bridge on the Jhelum as it entered Srinagar and the Zero bridge preceded this 'first' bridge.〔
