== History ==<br />
The Periyar Bridge was constructed in 1805 as St. George's Bridge. Since it formed the main access to the neighbourhood of [[Triplicane]] from [[Fort St George]], it was also known as Triplicane Bridge. The bridge was rebuilt in the 1920s. The St. George's Bridge was renamed as Periyar Bridge after [[India's independence]].<br />
