Broken bridge of Chennai is a bridge leading to nowhere. Actually a bridge constructed at the mouth of River Adayar in 1967 had partially collapsed in 1977 due to bad weather. The bridge was never repaired and the remains stand as a tourist attraction.
Now the broken bridge is a bachelor hangout. The sunset view from the bridge is so beautiful that a lot of locals and tourists gather on the bridge in the late evenings. After sunset the location is considered to be unsafe because of the lack of proper lighting. The bridge is used by joggers and bird watchers also. The broken bridge also used to be a shooting location for films. The river mouth has lost its charm recently due to pollution.
Besant Nagar Beach, Marina beach, Regional Train Museum, Lady of our Lourdes church, Government Museum, Egmore Museum and National Art Gallery, are some of the other important tourist attractions near the broken bridge.
Broken bridge is easily accessible by buses as the Besant Nagar bus terminal is located near to it.
Since summer is hot and humid in Chennai, the best time to visit the place is during the months of November to March.
