Comment The article claims as being "the highest bridge at 5602m, between Dras and Suru rivers".Looking at the terrain the top highest point is Junkor peak (5320m) within the radius of 30km of the joining of the two rivers. Also the rivers mentioned flow in the semi-opposite direction. Suru flows from south to north and Drass flows from west to east before joining the Suru. From the above it seems the ariticle is a big lie. MehrajMir (talk) 05:53, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

delete Besides all the other issues, it is not the "Baily Bridge": it is a Bailey bridge, but the picture that invariably is associated with the claims is of a suspension bridge. Nearly every place a found makes almost exactly the same nebulous claims about location, and the same precise claim about its altitude. All indications are that its a bit of fakelore.
