The railway-cum-road bridge was built in 1930 during the British rule. The bridge connecting North and South Chittagong was declared as risky in 2001. The length of Kalurghat bridge is 638 meters. Its span number is 19. In 1962, it was made suitable for all types of vehicles using steel decking and bitumen. The dilapidated bridge has been repaired in several phases since then. But it is still risky. Various accidents are happening every day. (Photo by Mohammed Shajahan/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
