The Padma Bridge is a 6.15 km long truss bridge that spans the Padma River in Bangladesh, connecting Louhajang Upazila of Munshiganj and Zazira Upazila of Shariatpur and a small part of Shibchar Upazila of Madaripur. It is the longest bridge in Bangladesh and the first fixed river crossing for road traffic. The bridge has two levels, with a four-lane highway on the upper level and a single-track railway on the lower level. The bridge was inaugurated on June 25, 2022, by the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The construction of the bridge was considered to be the most challenging construction project in the history of Bangladesh.
