There are altogether 24 bridges (RCC) and 14 culverts (RCC) in the Pourashava. Bridges are in all the Wards. Ward No. 2 and 7 is preserved 5 bridges each. Three bridges are in the Ward No. 5. Two bridges each is found in the Ward No. 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9. Highest number of RCC Box culvert is in the Ward No. 5 (3 culverts). Those bridges and culverts are located on the irrigation canals, drainage channels and the river flowing in the middle of the Pourashava.

Except the above infrastructure, more 10 bridges will be needed on different proposed roads as presented in the map. Two sluice gates have been proposed to control intrusion of river water through the Tungipara canal and Gimadanga canal. About 3.5 km. road cum embankment will be needed on the western part of the Baghiar River for prohibiting flood water intrusion from eastern part to the western part of the Pourashava.
