The Suspension Bridge at
Punalur, is the only one of its kind in south India. Built in 1877 by Albert Henry across the
Kallada River, this huge bridge was suspended by three spans and was used for vehicular movement. Construction took more than six years. Now the bridge is only of archeological interest.
The nearest
airport is at
Thiruvananthapuram and
Kollam Junction Railway Station is the important rail head.
