2nd longest railway bridge in Bangladesh. Connects Kushtia (Khulna Region) with Pabna (Rajshahi Region) During pre-partition days ie., till 1947 this rail-bridge use to be the most vital link between South Bengal (Calcutta) and North Bengal/Assam. Heard many thrilling stories of crossing Padma in the dead of night by Darjeeling Mail, on way to Siliguri, from family elders.
