==Anderson Railway Bridge==
The {{convert|1000|m|km}} long Old bridge of Iron was constructed in 1888 in the British period at a cost of 27 Lakh 94 thousand rupees on the Ganga in Balawali. The Bridge was made under the guidance of Engineer Sir Jason Anderson & hence was named Anderson Bridge. This iron rail bridge used to operate rail traffic, but in the year 2001 the railway bridge was closed due to the new bridges being built nearby. Trains are still operating from the new bridge. The 128 year old railway bridge was made ready for road traffic movement from the year 2016. The new Railway Bridge i.e. {{convert|961|m|km}} was built across the holy river Ganga near [[Balawali railway station]] between the Laksar and Najibabad Railway route in Uttar Pradesh. This Railway bridge is a landmark of the UP and Uttarakhand border. The Old Railway Bridge is used for road transportation and the other New Bridge for road transportation is under construction. The {{convert|1000|m|km}} long Old Anderson Bridge was the Second Railway Bridge on Ganga Main River after The {{convert|1050|m|km}} long [[Malviya Bridge]] at [[Varanasi]] and the First Bridge on Ganga River up stream.
