The Kuttippuram Bridge is a bridge that connects Kuttippuram with the Thavanur-Ponnani region in Malappuram district, Kerala, India. The Tirur and the Ponnani Taluks are separated by the river Bharathappuzha, which is also the second-longest river in Kerala.[1] The bridge connects these two regions. It is a part of the National Highway 66 on the Kozhikode - Kochi route.[1] It is one of the largest and oldest bridges built over the river Bharathappuzha, and plays a major role in connecting the Malabar region with the erstwhile Travancore-Cochin via road.

History
Before the construction of the bridge, Kozhikode and Kochi were connected via Shornur.[1] A bridge over the river Bharathappuzha through Kuttippuram became necessary for the construction of National Highway 66 to connect Kozhikode with Kochi.[1] On May 8, 1949, M. Bhaktavatsalam, the then Minister of Public Works of the Government of Madras, laid the foundation stone for the bridge.[1] The Modern Housing Construction and Properties (MHCP) Ltd. based at Chennai was chosen for the construction.[1] The bridge was inaugurated on November 11, 1953, by Shanmugha Rajeswara Sethupathi, who was the Minister of Public Works in Madras at the time.[1] The main architect of the bridge was K. V. Abdul Azeez from Ponnani.[1] The chief engineer for the construction was W. H. Nambiar and the Superintendent engineer was P. T. Narayanan Nair.[1]
