Hardinge Bridge, Railway truss bridge in Paksey, Bangladesh
The Hardinge Bridge extends across the Padma River for 1.8 kilometers with fifteen steel truss spans supported by sixteen concrete piers.
The bridge opened on March 4, 1915, after three years of construction under British colonial rule, employing 24,000 workers to complete the structure.
The bridge connects the regions of Pabna and Kushtia Districts, forming an essential transportation link between different cultural areas of western Bangladesh.
The structure carries broad gauge railway lines and includes a separate footpath on the downstream side for pedestrian crossing over the Padma River.
During the 1971 Liberation War, the twelfth span of the bridge collapsed into the river, leading to extensive repairs with support from the Japanese government.
