Bangladesh's longest rail-road bridge, the Padma Bridge has opened for traffic. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the landmark engineering marvel this past weekend over the turbulent Padma River after years of delay due to allegations of corruption. The bridge will connect capital Dhaka to the underdeveloped southwestern region of the country and reduce travel time not only for people in 21 districts across the river, but also open up vistas of seamless connectivity from India to South East Asia. The double-layer steel truss bridge incorporates a four-lane highway on an upper level along with a single-track railway on the lower level. With a construction cost of 3.6 billion U.S. dollars, it is one of the largest mega projects Bangladesh has ever undertaken. Sheikh Hasina said it is not a pile of brick and cement, but a symbol of Bangladesh’s pride, capacity and dignity. (JA)
