বুড়িগঙ্গা সেতু, Bridge spanning the Buriganga River in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Buriganga Bridge is a bridge spanning the Buriganga River in Dhaka that links the Dhaka and Keraniganj areas. The structure uses steel and concrete with separate roadways for vehicles and pedestrians.
The bridge was completed in 1989 as a major collaboration between Bangladesh and China. This project significantly improved transportation connections in the Dhaka region.
The bridge has become a place where people stop to watch the river life below, with traditional boats and barges passing underneath throughout the day.
The bridge accommodates both vehicles and pedestrians on separate paths, with toll collection at each end. You can cross during daylight hours when traffic and weather conditions are typically manageable.
The bridge sits at a height that allows cargo ships and barges to pass underneath. This clearance was specifically designed to accommodate the river traffic at Sadarghat, one of Bangladesh's busiest inland ports.
