Panamnagar Bridge, Sonargaon |
The pathway of the bridge is formed of bricks arranged
circularly. These circles of bricks are kept in place by several large
pillars of basalt laid flat at the toe or the rise of the bridge. Its
length is 21.95m and width 4.72m. The bridge originally had towers at
its sides, which flanked a gateway. The architectural style dates the
bridge as a structure of the Mughal period, and it appears to have been
built later than the panam
bridge. [Muazzam Hussain Khan]
