Karnaphuli
Bridge is the very bridge
across on the Karnaphuli River in Chittagong,
Bangladesh. It
is 950-metre long and 24.47-metre wide
bridge and it connect Cox's Bazar, Bandarban and southern upazilas of Chittagong for boosting up
economic activities in the areas. Construction of the bridge started in August
2006 and open on September 8, 2012 with
the financial assistance of Tk 372 crore provided by Kuwait Fund as soft loan
was scheduled to be completed in September, 2009.
Alongside four lanes for vehicles,
the bridge has two 1.5-m lanes for movement of 'manual transports' like
rickshaws, push carts and vans. There is also a 1.5-m walkway on each side of
the bridge.
The 3rd bridge on the river
Karnaphuli was a long felt demand since the century-old Kalurghat rail-road
bridge and renovated Shah Amanat Bridge
could hardly cope with the flow of vehicular traffic to maintain road
communications with the South Chittagong
division.
