The Keane Bridge is a notable landmark of Sylhet city, Bangladesh.[1] This bridge is called the gateway to Sylhet city.
After Earl Robert Miller, the ambassador of USA to Bangladesh visited the bridge and recommended its sole use as a pedestrian bridge, no vehicles are allowed to drive through the bridge. It is therefore the longest footover bridge in Bangladesh.[2]
