Where they stand
Circles are bridges, diamonds are monuments. Tap a marker or a name to jump to its plate.
How tall, side by side
Every structure at one scale, in metres. For bridges the figure is the tallest tower or pylon, except Chenab, where it is the deck's height above the riverbed.
Reach across the water
15 bridges ranked by their longest single span or by total length.
Twenty-three centuries of building
From Ashoka's stupa to the Chenab arch. The axis changes pace in four bands so the crowded recent decades stay readable.
Bridges
Height above water against distance along the bridge. Long bridges show a window; drag the strip under the scene to travel along the full length. Vertical scale is exaggerated where noted.
Monuments
19 elevations drawn to true scale and set in their surroundings. Visitors walk past at true size, and the white figure marks 1.7 m. Hover a part to identify it; the dashed line reads height. The Day, Sunset and Night buttons relight every scene.
