Keane Bridge & Ali Amjad's Clock
কীন ব্রীজ ও আলী আমজাদের ঘড়ি
A steel truss bridge from 1936 across the Surma River and a 19th-century red clock tower at the bridge end, both city landmarks of Sylhet.
Keane Bridge was built in 1936 and named after the then Governor of Assam. It is a steel truss arch bridge spanning the Surma River and is one of Sylhet's signature landmarks. On the north bank at the end of the bridge stands Ali Amjad's Clock Tower, built in 1874 with donations from a local landowner. Its red tower and large clock face are eye-catching. In the evening, visitors can stroll along the riverbank to watch people crossing the bridge and small boats on the river, or take a small boat out to see the bridge from the water. It is open all day and free to visit.
