The Old Naini Bridge is one of the longest and oldest bridges in India, located in Prayagraj. It is a double-decked steel truss bridge which runs across the Yamuna river in the southern part of the city. The bridge runs north–south across the Yamuna river connecting the city of Prayagraj to the neighbouring area of Naini. Its upper deck has a two lane railway line which connects Naini Junction railway station to Allahabad Junction railway station, while the lower deck has successfully been facilitating roadway services since 1927.{{Cite web|url=http://wikimapia.org/8292028/Old-Naini-Bridge|title = Old(150 year old) Yamuna Bridge – Allahabad}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/apac/photocoll/r/019pho000000394u00061000.html|title = Railway Bridge over Jumna at Allahabad}}
