Lalon Shah Bridge

The Lalon Shah Bridge extends 1.8 kilometers across the Padma River, featuring two lanes separated by a central divider and 17 spans of 109.5 meters each.

The foundation stone for this significant infrastructure project was laid on January 13, 2001, and the bridge officially commenced operations on May 18, 2004.
