यह सस्पेंशन ब्रिज 140 साल से भी ज्यादा पुराना है और इसकी लंबाई करीब 765 फीट है. आपको बता दें कि अब यह हवा में लटकता हुआ कुंड महाप्रभुजी के आसन और पूरे समाकांठा क्षेत्र को जोड़ता था. अब सवाल यह उठता है कि आखिर यह इतना पुराना पुल अचानक कैसे गिर गया है. इसे 1880 में लगभग 3.5 लाख रुपये की लागत से पूरा किया गया था. आशंका यह जताई जा रही है कि इनमें से 100 से ज्यादा लोग अभी भी नदी में फंसे हुए हैं जिन्हें बचाने का काम शुरू हो गया है. अधिकारियों का कहना है कि अचानक पुल ढह गया क्योंकि यह उस पर खड़े लोगों का भार सहन नहीं कर सका.
