Rupsha Rail Bridge, Railway bridge in Khulna District, Bangladesh
The Rupsha Rail Bridge is a railway crossing over the Rupsha River in Khulna District. The structure spans across the water using large truss sections and plate girders supported by a foundation system of reinforced piles.
The bridge was developed through a partnership between Bangladesh Railway and the Indian firm Larson & Toubro. The construction was completed in 2022 and rail service started the following year.
The bridge connects Khulna District with Mongla Port, making it easier for people to travel between these communities. It plays a practical role in daily life for those moving between regions for work or family visits.
You can walk along the bridge area to view the structure, though access may be limited in certain sections due to active train operations. Early morning or late afternoon offers the best lighting for viewing and photographing the crossing.
The bridge was specifically engineered to carry heavy train loads using a combination of different truss and girder systems that work together. It represents one of the region's most modern railway structures and demonstrates advanced engineering techniques adapted for the challenging river environment.
