Brief
The sixth Bangladesh-China friendship bridge over the river Dhaleswari (ধলেশ্বরী) that connects Narayanganj and Munshiganj district is another attractive place to visit at Munshiganj. This bridge is at muktarpur, all buses from Dhaka to Munshiganj used to give a stoppage at the base of the bridge.
Muktarpur bridge was opened for public at 18th February 2008, and it was opened by the Chief Advisor of Bangladesh Government, Mr. Fakhruddin Ahmed. Before the bridge was established , people of that particular area used to cross the river with trawler boats, and the vehicles through Ferry. After its construction, now a days, it’s no more require the Ferry transport, but still some people used to cross the river using boat. The bridge is not allowed to take any Rickshaw, that’s why I think people are still using this route.
It takes around 15 minutes to cross the bridge. Even though you are there at summer season, but at the middle of the bridge, there’s always plenty of cool airs from the river, and that was enough to ease the hot from the sun. It’s a lovely place to enjoy your time. At Every moment, under the bridge, different types of water vehicles are passing. Some are bigger in size, some are smaller. Some boats are carrying goods, like sand, woods, etc. Some are trawler that carrying people to their destination. Also from the middle of the bridge, you can enjoy the beauty of the river Dhaleswari. At the both side of the bridge there are lovely scene to watch. The water of the river is clean. Not dirty like other rivers from Dhaka or Narayanganj area. You’ll find lots of people are having baths at the bank of the river. There is a stair at the bridge where the river bank started. If you want, you can get down from the bridge using the stairs, and enjoy the beauty of the bridge under the bridge.

Hardinge Bridge (Bengali:
হার্ডিঞ্জ ব্রিজ) is a steel railway bridge over the river Padma located at Paksey in western Bangladesh. It is named after Lord Hardinge, who was the Viceroy of India from 1910 to 1916. The bridge is 1.8 kilometers (1.1 mi) long. It is named after Lord Hardinge. From 1910-1916 he was the Viceroy of India. Its construction began in 1910 and ended in 1912, though it was proposed two decades ago. There was train movement on it from 1915. There was proposal of constructing a railway bridge over Padma. Eastern Bengal Railway laid the proposal in 1889.The motive of constructing this bridge was to ease communication between Eastern part of Bengal and Kolkata.
The construction of a railway bridge over the Padma was proposed in 1889 by the Eastern Bengal Railway for easier communication between Calcutta and the then Eastern Bengal and Assam. In 1902, Sir FJE Spring prepared a report on the bridge. A technical committee reported that a bridge could be constructed at Sara crossing the lowerGanges between the Paksey and Bheramara Upazila stations on the broad gauge railway from Khulna to Parbatipur Upazila. The construction of the bridge started in 1910 and finished two years later. The bridge comprises 15 steel trusses. The main girders are modified "Petit" type.
The most difficult task of the operation was to prevent bank erosion and to make the river flow permanently under the bridge. For this, two guide banks of the "Bell-bund" type named after J. R. Bell were built on either side, each extending 910 metres (3,000 ft) upstream and 300 metres (1,000 ft) downstream from the bridge.
[2] The ends of the river banks were curved inward and heavily pitched with stone.
Hardinge Bridge was severely damaged during the Liberation War of Bangladesh of 1971. It happened on 13 December 1971, when the Indian Air Force plane bombed on the 4th guarder from the Paksey side. As the Pakistani army was on retreat towards Jessore (their last stronghold) Hardinge Bridge was strategically very important. The allied force damaged the bridge. The Japanese Government helped to reconstruct the bridge. It is the second largest railway bridge in Bangladesh. Another bridge named Lalon Shah Bridge for road transport beside the Hardinge Bridge has recently been constructed.

খালের উপরে অবস্থিত সেতুটি ১৯৯৫ সালে সর্বসাধারনের চলাচলের জন্য উন্মুক্ত করা হয়। সেতুটি নির্মাণের ফলে কক্সবাজার থেকে ইনানী সৈকতে পরিবহন ব্যাবস্থা অনেকাংশে সহজতর হয়েছে। রেজু খালে বিভিন্ন প্রজাতির ছোট মাছ, কাঁকড়া, শামুক, ও ঝিনুক রয়েছে। তবে, এসব জলজ প্রাণী খাল থেকে সংগ্রহ করা নিষিদ্ধ।
