The Muktarpur Bridge is a road crossing spanning the Dhaleshwari River in Munshiganj with two traffic lanes and 37 sections held up by 36 pillars. The structure allows river traffic to pass beneath while carrying vehicles across the water.

Construction of this bridge began in 2005 and finished in 2008, becoming the sixth Bangladesh-China Friendship Bridge project. The project marked an important step in improving transport connections between regions.

The bridge brings together rural farming communities with urban markets in Dhaka, making it easier for local producers to sell their goods. This connection has changed how people in the region do business and travel.

The bridge has been designed to allow large river boats to pass under it safely, so water traffic continues to flow alongside road traffic. Visitors should keep in mind that this is an active transport route used heavily by vehicles and trucks moving goods between regions.

This crossing was one of several partnerships between Bangladesh and China to improve national infrastructure, bringing in expertise and resources from abroad. The bridge shows how international cooperation can reshape local communities and their connection to the wider country.
