The Madhumati Bridge (Bengali: মধুমতি সেতু), also called the Kalna Bridge (Bengali: কালনা সেতু), is a 690-metre-long, 6-lane bridge across the Madhumati River. The bridge connects the districts of Narail, Khulna, Magura, Satkhira, Chuadanga, Jashore, Jhenaidah, Gopalganj and a few others in the southwest and northwest. It is a part of the Asian Highway Project.[1] [2]
The bridge has four high-speed lanes and two service lanes. Madhumati Bridge was inaugurated by Sheikh Hasina from her official residence at Ganabhaban, Sher-E-Bangla Nagar on 10 October 2022, along with the third bridge across the Shitalakkhya River.[3] [4]
