Kinn bridge

       

District  :   Sylhet
Upazila  :   Sylhet Sadar

To enter the Sylhet city, you have to go through this Kinn bridge. Therefore, it is called the gateway to Sylhet. This bridge was built in 1936 on the Surma river flowing through Sylhet. At that time the bridge was named after the English governor Michael Kinn. The attractive feature of this bridge, which is easy to look at, is designed to bend it like a bow. It is about 1150 feet long and 18 feet wide and the bridge is made of iron. In the 1971 war of liberation, some parts of the bridge were damaged by the Pakistani army and were repaired with wood and bailey parts. Although some parts are damaged, this bridge built in British times is still the same as in the past.
