Historic Kaveri Bridge, which connects the Namakkal and Karur districts, is the popular landmark of the town. This bridge was constructed after much wrangling between the stalwarts of Mohanur and Velur on the best location. The efforts of Shri Easwara Iyer, Shri. Kulandaivel Chettiar, Shri. Subramaniya Kandar an Shri Kuppayandi Pillai ensured that the bridge across the Cauvery River got located at Velur. The bridge was opened for traffic in 1952 by Sri Rajagopalachari (former Governor General of India) in the presence of Sri Bhakthavthsalam, who was Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu during that period. Now another bridge was also constructed adjacent to the old one, The longest road in INDIA is NH-44 which also passes through paramathi velur.
