Jamuna Bridge

The Bangabandhu Bridge extends 4,987 meters across the Jamuna River, connecting the eastern region at Bhuapur with the western region at Sirajganj.

Construction of the bridge began after multiple feasibility studies since 1969, leading to its completion and opening to traffic on June 23, 1998.

The structure bears the name of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding leader of Bangladesh, representing a symbol of national progress and unity.

The bridge supports both road and rail traffic while carrying natural gas pipelines, electrical power lines, and telecommunication cables between regions.

At the time of construction, this concrete structure ranked as the eleventh longest bridge worldwide and maintains its position as the sixth longest in South Asia.
