Khan Jahan Ali Bridge (Bengali: খান জাহান আলী সেতু) is a bridge over Rupsa River in Khulna, Bangladesh and named after Khan Jahan Ali.

History

In 2004, workers working at the construction site were harassed by Purba Banglar Communist Party who were trying to extort the firms involved in the construction of the bridge.

Location

The bridge is located 4.80 km away from Khulna Town. It is called the gateway of Khulna because the bridge connects the Southern districts of Bangladesh with the Port of Mongla, the second largest sea port of Bangladesh. The length of the bridge is 1.6 km and its width is 16.48 meters.
