Habba Kadal (Urdu pronunciation: [həbaː kədəl] ; Kashmiri pronunciation: [habɨ kədɨl]) is a wooden bridge located in the old city of Srinagar, in Jammu and Kashmir, India that crosses the Jhelum river. It was first built in 1551 by Sultan Habib Shah of the Shah Miri Dynasty and is one of the seven original bridges that have existed in the city for a long time. It had to be rebuilt during Dogra rule after the heavy floods of 1893.[1][2][3] Although originally planned to be dismantled as the New Habba Kadal bridge made it redundant, the government, as part of its policy of preserving heritage, undertook renovation of the bridge. It was started in 2013 and took two years to complete. Finally, the bridge again opened to public in 2015.[4]
