Shah Amanat bridge chittagong

The Shah Amanat Bridge (3rd Karnaphuli Bridge) in Chittagong is the newest of three bridges crossing the Karnaphuli River in Bangladesh, and opened for public use on 8 September 2010.

This 950 metre long, 24.47 metre wide cable-supported bridge was built exclusively with RubyCement from Heidelberg Materials, with a design using comparatively fewer pillars that is unique in Bangladesh.

The bridge has two lanes on either side for high-speed traffic, as well as a 1.5 metre wide road for low speed traffic (e.g. rickshaw, van, bicycle), and a 1.5 metre wide walkway on both sides for pedestrians. The bridge meets a 0.5 kilometre connecting road at the city end and a 1 kilometre road to Patiya at the other end. China-based Major Bridge Engineering Company constructed the bridge under direct supervision of the Bangladesh Roads & Highways Department
