This old bridge spans the Mir Kadim Canal ( creek) which runs from Mir Kadim to Tangibari, Munshiganj. It connects the village Abdullahpur and Panam areas of Rampal UP under Munshiganj district. It situated at a distance of about 5.50km from the district headquarters. The local tradition claims it to have been built by King Ballal Sen, but the architectural features belie the local tradition. The bridge can architecturally be attributed to the Mughal period, not earlier than 17th century.
The 53m long bridge consists of a central pointed arch of 4.40m span with two side arches of 2.25m span each. The central arch is 9.40m high from the water level of the creek. It is 6.15m wide with each wing measuring 16.80m in length.
The central arch is flanked by an octagonal pilaster on either side. Similarly each of the side arches has a pilaster each crowned with a cupola. The pilasters of the side arches rise above the spandrel of the arch but those of the central arch shorter and do not reach the archivolt.
The pier is 1.85m thick. It is reported that on either end of the bridge there were circular pillars but now these are buried under earth. It appears that there are 6 piers on each side of the bridge. The central arch is loftier and wider than the side ones is set in a deep rectangular panel with plain plastered spandrel. Base of the arches were provided with cutwatrs.
The hump backed bridge rises to a central point from which its back gently slopes to either side. It has a 70cm high parapet wall on either side. The surviving thickness of the bridge measures 4.34m. It has been protected and repaired extensively by the Department of Archaeology.
