Bridge of Padma, the actualized dream of Bangladesh

The Padma is one of the biggest rivers in Bangladesh. It has separated the south area of the country from the capital city Dhaka. Because of the absence of bridge in Padma, the communication system of the districts located in south part of Bangladesh with the largest city of the country, the capital Dhaka, was not so smooth.
So, the economic development was also decelerated of those areas. And therefore, a Bridge on Padma was the cherished dream for the development of those areas as well as the whole country.

After a long waiting, finally the dream of Padma Bridge is going to come out in real. The process of building the bridge was inaugurated in December, 2015 and it is expected that the project will be completed within December 2018. The Bangladeshi people should be proud that the bridge is being built with the country’s own fund, without the help of other countries or organization.

The Bridge will be 6.15 km long. There will be totally 42 pillars and 41 spans of the Bridge. At 2014 the probably total cost for the bridge was estimated 20 thousand cores Bangladeshi Taka. But, now it now it is thought that about 28 cores Bangladeshi Taka will be spent for completing the full project. Still now about 50% of the full project has been completed.

This bridge will contribute so much in the financial development of whole Bangladesh. The communication system with the south area of the country with the rest will be easier and so new mills, factories will be established in the south part of Bangladesh, which will contribute in reducing unemployment problem and increase GPD. The second biggest sea port of the country, the Mongla sea port, will be able to be used properly after completing the building of this Bridge. Thus, the economy of Bangladesh will be developed faster than now and the country will go ahead to actualize the dream of being developed country.
