This dangerous bridge named Husseini Suspension Bridge is made up of the Borit Lake in Upper Kunja area. It is made by adding wooden straps with iron cables.
It connects Zardabad and Husseini villages. In 1960, then President of Pakistan Ayub Khan had come to play a hunt in Zarabad. Then they ordered the suspension bridge to be constructed here. However, even after their orders, the bridge could only be built up to 1967-68.
This bridge was actually built like a tempi bridge, by locating the cables of Loha and by placing wood on it. This bridge was destroyed in the landslide of 2011. After this, the same Suspension Bridge was built next to it.
-The new bridge like the first bridge is also dangerous. There is also a gap between two wooden ladders. The bridges wind up this bridge. That is, if there is a slight distraction, then there is a danger of falling directly into the lake below.
In spite of this danger people of the village used this bridge daily. While women cross the bridge with a heavy burden, many children have to go through this bridge twice a day to go to school.
