on the longitudinal direction of the bridge deck with some secondary crackings also in the transverse direction. In the analytical investigation, three dimensional model of the bridge was developed in finite elements methods. Repair and strengthening effort included the replacement of modular expansion joints, strengthening the deck with carbon fiber reinforced polymer strips, web-deck connection improvement by carbon fiber reinforced fabrics and also sealing of non-structural cracks. These were conducted in phases. After repair and strengthening, performance of the bridge monitored. Health monitoring campaign was conducted by Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology for first few years to take reference measurements.
