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.
