This bridge was built during british rule and is one of the most iconic place of sangli. Its very old bridge built by British. Its named in honor of British officer irwin. Completed 125 Years and still functioning. This bridge connects to the road to islampur from sangli. You can get the view of krishna river. The marvelous structure is built with red rock. This bridge is use till date but due to increased traffic, an alternate bridge has come up on the north side of this bridge. It gives excellent view of the Krishna river during the monsoon when the river is flooded and also been used by spectators for viewing the visarjan of ganesh idols during the ganesh festival.
