    This is Asia’s 2nd Largest Steel Bridge, in an area of district Dera Ghazi Khan - This exact place is known as Fort Munro. Which was established by Leftenant Colonel George Munro during the British rule.

    Later when Pakistan gained it's Independence in 1947, this area was turned into a tourist destination. However today it holds strategic value, as it's one of the main routes which we call CPEC, (China Pakistan Economic Corridor) - Or as others refer to as China's Belt & Road Initiative. Which will utilize all of Pakistan's ports for export into the entire world...

    There are 8 bridges in this 15 kilometer stretch of road. Which until recently was almost impossible to travel easily. But today it's open for all types of road vehicles.

    The serpentine is great, I didn't expect to see such roads in Pakistan.

    This fort is an essential point for those traveling by car. I would like to add information for those traveling by train. You can travel by train from Karachi in the south to the northern foothills and from Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan, to India.
