The [Tirur](/source/Tirur_Taluk) and the [Ponnani](/source/Ponnani_taluk) [Taluks](/source/Tehsil) are separated by the river [Bharathappuzha](/source/Bharathappuzha), which is also the second-longest river in Kerala.[1] The bridge connects these two regions. It is a part of the [National Highway 66](/source/National_Highway_66_(India)) on the [Kozhikode](/source/Kozhikode) - [Kochi](/source/Kochi) route.[1] It is one of the largest and oldest bridges built over the river [Bharathappuzha](/source/Bharathappuzha), and plays a major role in connecting the [Malabar region](/source/Malabar_District) with the erstwhile [Travancore-Cochin](/source/Travancore-Cochin) via road. A panoramic view of Kuttippuram bridge from *Nilayoram* Park ## History Before the construction of the bridge, [Kozhikode](/source/Kozhikode) and [Kochi](/source/Kochi) were connected via [Shornur](/source/Shornur).[1] A bridge over the river [Bharathappuzha](/source/Bharathappuzha) through [Kuttippuram](/source/Kuttippuram) became necessary for the construction of [National Highway 66](/source/National_Highway_66_(India)) to connect [Kozhikode](/source/Kozhikode) with [Kochi](/source/Kochi).[1] On May 8, 1949, [M. Bhaktavatsalam](/source/M._Bhaktavatsalam), the then Minister of [Public Works](/source/Public_Works) of the [Government of Madras](/source/Madras_State), laid the foundation stone for the bridge.[1] The Modern Housing Construction and Properties (MHCP) Ltd. based at [Chennai](/source/Chennai) was chosen for the construction.[1] The bridge was inaugurated on November 11, 1953, by [Shanmugha Rajeswara Sethupathi](/source/Shanmugha_Rajeswara_Sethupathi), who was the Minister of [Public Works](/source/Public_Works) in [Madras](/source/Madras_State) at the time.[1] The main architect of the bridge was K. V. Abdul Azeez from [Ponnani](/source/Ponnani).[1] The chief engineer for the construction was W. H. Nambiar and the Superintendent engineer was P. T. Narayanan Nair.[1] ## *Kuttippuram Palam* The popular [Malayalam](/source/Malayalam) poem, *Kuttippuram Palam*, written by [Edasseri Govindan Nair](/source/Edasseri_Govindan_Nair), published on February 21, 1954, through the magazine *[Mathrubhumi Azhchappathippu](/source/Mathrubhumi_Azhchappathippu)*, describes Kuttippuram bridge and the state of the river [Bharathappuzha](/source/Bharathappuzha).[2][3] ## See also - [Chamravattom Regulator-cum-Bridge](/source/Chamravattom_Regulator-cum-Bridge) - [Kuttippuram railway station](/source/Kuttippuram_railway_station) - [Mini Pampa, Malappuram](/source/Mini_Pampa%2C_Malappuram) - [Tavanur](/source/Tavanur) ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-kb_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-kb_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-kb_1-2) [***d***](#cite_ref-kb_1-3) [***e***](#cite_ref-kb_1-4) [***f***](#cite_ref-kb_1-5) [***g***](#cite_ref-kb_1-6) [***h***](#cite_ref-kb_1-7) [***i***](#cite_ref-kb_1-8) V.
