| Abstract: |
The third Karnaphuli Bridge is the first major cable supported bridge constructed in Bangladesh. The 950m long bridge has three main spans of 200m. The 830m long main bridge is a single plane extradosed pre-stressed concrete box girder bridge. The bridge is located on soft alluvial soil. 3m diameter bored cast-in-situ piles were adopted for foundation. The bridge was opened to traffic in July 2010. |
