Heritage of gilgitFirst ever hanging bridge in gilgit

The bridge was constructed by Ahmed Ali (late), well-known as Bireno, a renowned constructor and self-taught engineer from Hunza in 1960. The bridge is situated over the Hunza River almost 2 km short of its confluence with Gilgit River. It was only meant to use for mini vehicles since it was constructed until an alternate concrete bridge was built. The western end of the bridge is connected to KIU campus that further leads to Gilgit town while the eastern end is connected to a single lane tunnel in Danyore side that further meets the Karakoram Highway.The Danyore Suspension Bridge was renovated in 2018 and the sections of road on both ends of the bridge have been refurbished and decorated to turn it as a tourist attraction. To the Gilgit side, there is a significant Buddhist rock carving site preserved for the visitors that further adds to the attraction of the site. In 2013 a two-way concrete bridge was constructed beside it that is being used as an alternative.
