Madhumati Bridge, Road bridge in Gopalganj District, Bangladesh

The Madhumati Bridge carries six lanes across the Madhumati River, linking Gopalganj and Narail districts over a span of 690 meters (about 2260 feet). The roadway reaches 27.1 meters (about 89 feet) in width and rests on concrete pillars rising at regular intervals from the water.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina laid the foundation stone on 24 January 2015, and construction was inaugurated on 30 October 2018 under the name Kalna Bridge. The Roads and Highways Department built it through its Cross Border Road Network Development Project with funding from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), on a budget of 959.85 crore taka. It opened on 10 October 2022 and was renamed Madhumati Bridge.

The structure shortens travel time for traders and families moving between rural communities and larger towns in the southwestern part of the country. Trucks carrying rice, fish and other regional goods cross daily, supporting commerce in this agricultural region.

The four central lanes serve heavy vehicles, while the two outer lanes are reserved for local and lighter traffic. Pedestrians cannot access the bridge, so travelers must cross by vehicle or public transport.

The bridge carries national highway N806 and forms part of the Asian Highway Project. Its four central lanes are kept for heavy vehicles, while the two outer service lanes take rickshaws, vans, e-bikes and motorcycles. It has two more lanes than the Padma Bridge.
