The Majestic Padma Multipurpose Bridge: A Marvel of Engineering

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, head towards Mawa from your current location in Eastern Bengal. Use Google Maps for real-time navigation. The bridge is located on Approach Road in Mawa, so you will primarily be following the N8 highway. Once you reach Mawa, look for signs that lead you to the Padma Multipurpose Bridge. Parking is available near the entrance, but it may incur a fee, so be prepared with some Bangladeshi Taka.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, start by taking a local bus or rickshaw to the nearest bus terminal that services Mawa. Major terminals in Eastern Bengal like Gabtoli or Sayedabad will have buses heading towards Mawa. The fare is typically around 100-200 BDT. Once you arrive in Mawa, you can either walk or take a local auto-rickshaw to the Padma Multipurpose Bridge. The rickshaw fare should be approximately 30-50 BDT.

• Bike Rental

  If you're feeling adventurous, consider renting a bike in Mawa. There are several local shops offering bike rentals. After renting, follow the signs to the Padma Multipurpose Bridge which is a short ride away. Expect rental fees to be around 500-1000 BDT depending on the duration.

• Walking

  For those already in Mawa, walking to the bridge is a feasible option. From the center of Mawa, head towards Approach Road. It’s about a 20-minute walk to reach the bridge. Follow the local signage and ask locals for directions if needed.
