Padma Bridge (Zajira end)
পদ্মা সেতু (যাজিরা প্রান্ত) · Zajira, Zajira Upazila, southern end of the Padma Bridge, Shariatpur district, Dhaka Division
Introduction
A 6.15 km two-level bridge (four-lane highway above, single-track rail below), inaugurated on 25 June 2022, connecting Louhajang Upazila in Munshiganj with Zajira in Shariatpur and part of Shibchar in Madaripur. From the southern Zajira-Shibchar bank you get sweeping Padma views and the lively bridge-head market.
Suggested time: 1-2 hours
How to get there
From Dhaka take the Dhaka-Mawa-Bhanga expressway (N8) across the Padma Bridge and stop at the Zajira end; private cars or buses on the Dhaka-Mawa/Bhanga route make this straightforward.
The honest truth about costs
Bridge tolls are set by the Roads and Highways/rivers police authority; if hiring a car, check whether the toll is included.
What you will need to budget for
- Getting there (bus, train, launch or air fare)
- Stay (per night, per room)
- Food (per person, per day)
- Entry tickets and local transport
- A small buffer for the return journey
