The largest railway bridge is situated between Kushtia & Pabna district. later Lalon Shah Highway Bridge was built for the betterment road transport. Previously ferry was used for the transportation from northern Bangladesh to southern Bangladesh. This matter is arising because Kushtia is situated beside the mighty river Padma.
