Anderson Bridge

Anderson Bridge, Railway bridge in Bhairab Upazila, Bangladesh.

The Bhairab railway bridges are two parallel steel bridges over the Meghna River between Bhairab in Kishoreganj District and Ashuganj in Brahmanbaria District. The first, Shaheed Habiladar Abdul Halim Railway Bridge, is 914 m long and carries a single meter-gauge track. The second, President Zillur Rahman Railway Bridge, lies 40 m to its south, is 984 m long and 7 m wide, and has 12 piers and 9 spans of 100 m each, with dual-gauge track.

The bridge opened in 1937 and quickly became a key transport link for the region. During the 1971 Liberation War, Pakistani forces damaged it, but it was later restored to service.

The first bridge was named King George VI Bridge after the British monarch; on 27 September 1973, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman renamed it Shahid Habil Dar Abdul Halim Railway Bridge after learning that a freedom fighter named Habil Dar Abdul Halim had died there during the war. The second bridge, opened on 9 November 2017, honours former president Zillur Rahman.

The bridge is best viewed during daytime when trains pass and river activity is visible. It is advisable to observe from a local vantage point, as direct access to the bridge structure is limited.

The first bridge, 914 metres long, carries only a metre-gauge track, while the second, opened on 9 November 2017, is 984 metres long and 7 metres wide with dual-gauge track. Its 12 piers carry 9 steel spans of 100 metres each, weighing 800 tonnes.
