Karnali Bridge

The Karnali Bridge extends 500 meters across the Karnali River with a main span of 325 meters supported by steel cable-stayed construction techniques.

Completed in January 1994, this steel bridge represented a major advancement in Nepal's infrastructure development, connecting previously separated communities in western regions.

The bridge functions as a meeting point between different ethnic groups from Bardiya and Kailali Districts, facilitating cultural exchanges and traditional celebrations.

Travelers and locals cross the bridge daily to transport agricultural products, access medical facilities, and reach educational institutions between the connected districts.

The structure incorporates specific engineering elements to manage Nepal's monsoon conditions while spanning one of the country's principal rivers at 28.6415°N latitude.
