Excerpt from Wikipedia
Lalon Shah Bridge (Bengali: লালন শাহ সেতু), locally known as Pakshey Bridge is a road bridge in Bangladesh over the river Padma, situated between Ishwardi Upazila of Pabna on the east, and Bheramara Upazila of Kushtia on the west. Named after early 19th-century mystic poet Lalon Shah of Chhewuriya, Kushtia District, the bridge was completed in 2004.
The bridge is 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) long and is the second longest road bridge of the country, after Bangabandhu Bridge. It is on the National Highway N704 N704. It provides important road connection to Mongla port of Khulna District in the south from Rajshahi division and Rangpur division, the northern part of Bangladesh.
It is situated parallel to and south (downstream) of Hardinge Bridge.
