*Padma Bridge Paragraph*
The longest bridge in Bangladesh is the Padma Multipurpose Bridge. This dream
Padma Bridge is the biggest project implemented by Bangladesh without any foreign
aid. It is the largest project in the country and will be the longest bridge in the country
after construction. The bridge is being constructed with concrete and steel.
The length of the main bridge is 6.15 km and the width is 16.10 m. The bridge
connecting Mawa in Munshiganj district to Jajira in Shariatpur district has two layers. It
has a four-lane road at the top and a railway at the bottom. The Padma Bridge will be
used for rail, gas, power lines and fiber optic cable expansion in the future.
The complete design of the Padma Multipurpose Bridge was formed by a team of
international and national consultants led by ECOM. A company called China Major
Bridge, a subsidiary of China Railway Group Limited, has been contracted to build the
bridge. Construction began on December 6, 2014, and by November 2020, 92% of the
bridge was completed.
According to China Major Bridge Engineering Company, the contractor constructing the
Padma Bridge, the Padma Bridge will be ready for traffic by April 2022. The project will
directly benefit more than 30 million people (44,000 sq km which is 29% of the total area
of Bangladesh).
Completion of this bridge at a cost of over Tk 30,000 crore will make a significant
contribution to the social, economic and industrial development of the southern part of
Bangladesh. The bridge will play an important role in regional connectivity between Asia
and Southeast Asia. The Padma Bridge, the dream of the people of Bangladesh, is on
the way to be realized today.
Although the World Bank and donors withdrew due to allegations of corruption, the
Bangladesh government did not back down. The government decided to build the
bridge with its own funds and the work is progressing accordingly. Work on the Padma
Bridge is progressing at a normal pace. Everyone concerned is hoping that the
construction work of the bridge will be completed within the stipulated time.
