The Padma Bridge

The dream of our Padma Bridge has come into reality. It is a multipurpose road-rail bridge across the mighty Padma. After its completion, it will be the largest bridge in Bangladesh and will serve many purposes. It will connect three districts- Munhiganj, Madaripur, and Shariatpur. The bridge will link the southwest part of the country to the northeast part. The main length of the bridge is 6.15km and the width is 18.10 meters. The bridge will have an enormous effect on our communication, economy, and industrialization. In the southern region, we do not have enough railway networks. Moreover, the people of the south part of the country are more vulnerable to various natural disasters. The project aims to provide improved access to the market to those people. After completion, the project will improve the national GDP by 1.2%. It will also reduce the risk of natural hazards like-river bank erosion. It will also reduce the excess risk of death from risky launch and ferry operations. Th
