The Kohala Bridge is a bridge across the Jhelum River,[1] a tributary of the Indus River, that forms part of one of the land routes from the Azad Kashmir to Punjab in Pakistan. It is located on the E75 expressway.[2]

The bridge is located in the town of Kohala, 38km (24miles) north of Murree and 35 km south of Muzaffarabad. A bridge was constructed in 1877 and vanished in an 1890 flood. A new transportable steel bridge was constructed in 1899, and in 1990 it too vanished in a flood. A third bridge was constructed on the north edge of Union Council Birote Kalan, Abbottabad District, in 1993.[3]
