Perspective thru the old bridge. The newer bridges can be seen on either side

The road approach at the upper level takes a slight turn to align with the railway line. Both bridges then continue one below the other over the river. At the other end, the road turns left again

At the other end of town is the Naini bridge which crosses the Yamuna. This is also a double decker bridge with rail on top and road below. It is a larger bridge than Curzon with a double line on top.
