| Abstract | Bridges are the life lines of not only a country but a region or beyond. This is true for Bangladesh as her geopolitical boundaries place the country in a strategic situation giving ample opportunity to become a hub for a sub-regional to global land transport network. Owning a resilient bridge infrastructure for the Asian region and considering country’s location, geomorphological conditions and climatic variations are important for future growth of transportation network. To this end in view, the paper takes a note of the construction of a few land mark bridges those taken place between 1870 AD to present. The major engineering aspects and the performances are being discussed in a broader sense. Finally, the paper presents an outlook identifying the gaps in understanding for achieving an efficient design with the present know-how available elsewhere in the world. The necessity of maintenance aspects is being discussed in short. Salient design, construction and maintenance considerations that the future national design code/ standard for bridges in Bangladesh needs to contain are indicated. |
