'''Habba Kadal''' ({{IPA-ur|həbaː kədəl}} ; {{IPA-ks|habɨ kədɨl}}) is a wooden [[bridge]] located in the [[Downtown Srinagar|old city]] of [[Srinagar]], in the Indian [[Kashmir Conflict|state]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] that crosses the [[Jhelum]] river. It was first built in 1551 by Sultan Habib Shah of the [[Shah Mir dynasty|Shah Miri Dynasty]] and is one of the seven original bridges that have existed in the city for a long time. It had to be rebuilt after the heavy floods of 1893.<ref name="RK">{{cite news |title=Kashmir’s Pittsburgh: Srinagar - The City of Bridges - Rising Kashmir|url=http://www.risingkashmir.com/news/kashmirs-pittsburgh--srinagar---the-city-of-bridges-323856.html|date=18 April 2018|accessdate=21 July 2018}}</ref><ref name="Kasitis">{{cite web |title=Bridges in Srinagar-Kashmir As It Is|url=http://kashmirasitis.com/bridges-historical-srinagar|accessdate=21 July 2018}}</ref><ref name="VoK">Sir Walter Roper Lawrence. {{Google books|DqAHweWRUs0C|The Valley of Kashmir|page=38}}</ref> Although originally planned to be dismantled as the [[New Habba Kadal]] bridge made it redundant, the government, as part of its policy of preserving heritage, undertook renovation of the bridge.
