History

The modern port started its operations in 1854 during the British Raj, when a mole was constructed to connect city to the harbour. After few years Native Jetty Bridge was built with other important bridges in the area.[2] Due to increased traffic congestion, a new wider bridge, Jinnah Bridge, was constructed and replaced the old one.

Today, the old bridge has been converted to a Food Street and named as Port Grand Food and Entertainment Complex.
