Anderson Bridge, Railway bridge in Bhairab Upazila, Bangladesh.
The one-kilometer steel bridge spans across the Meghna River, connecting Bhairab Bazar Junction in Kishoreganj District with Ashuganj in Brahmanbaria District.
The bridge opened on December 6, 1937, and Pakistani forces partially destroyed it with dynamite during the Liberation War on December 11, 1971.
The bridge carries significant historical weight due to the February 1950 incident when numerous Hindu passengers lost their lives during a targeted attack.
Regular trains connect Dhaka and Mymensingh districts on the western side to Sylhet, Comilla, and Chittagong districts on the eastern side.
This single-track meter gauge railway bridge stands as the second-largest bridge structure in Bangladesh, following only the Hardinge Bridge.
