Hardinge Bridge is a landmark railway bridge spanning the Padma River from Pakshi in Ishwardi Upazila of Pabna District to Kushtia District Upazila. It was built in 1909-1915 named after Viceroy Lord Hardinge. The bridge is 1.8 km long and has two broad gauge railway lines.
    In 1989, the then undivided Government of India proposed to build it on the Padma River to facilitate Kolkata's connectivity with Assam, Tripura, Nagaland and North Bengal. Later, in 1908, British engineer Sir Robert Gales took over the responsibility of building the bridge. The survey of the bridge was started in 1909 and in 1910-1911 dams were constructed to protect the bridge on both banks of the Padma. Construction of the guide bank of the bridge began in 1912. Immediately the work of digging wells for the construction of girders also started. After 5 years of tireless work of 24 thousand workers, the work of the bridge was completed in 1915. The construction cost of the bridge is 3 crore 51 lakh 32 thousand 1 hundred and 64 taka. This bridge has 15 spans. The length of the bridge is 5 thousand 800 feet. In 1971, span No. 12 of this bridge was damaged and later it was repaired.

    2015 marked the centenary of the bridge. Bangladesh Railway is engaged in the maintenance and safety of the bridge.
