1. Strategic location and importance of Padma Bridge
2
• Padma Bridge is the highest priority and largest investment
Project of Bangladesh.
• The Asian Highway Priority Route No.1 and Trans Asian
Railway will be established through Padma Bridge.
• Padma Bridge will establish National, Regional and
International connectivity through our national road
corridors.
• After completion of the Padma Bridge, the National GDP
of Bangladesh will be increased by 1.26% and Southwest
regional GDP will be increased by 2.3% ( incredible )
3. The bridge will be
an integral part of
the Asian Highway
No. 1, AH1 (Tamabil-
Sylhet--Dhaka-
Mawa-Bhanga-
Jessore-Benapole)
Asian Highway Routes in Bangladesh.

Feasibility Study 2001 JICA Grant
Detail Design 2009 – 2010 ADB TA loan
Procurement &
Implementation
2011 – 2018 GoB
8. The plan of the bridge is “ S “ shape which is the line of beauty
Main Bridge Total River Span length = 6.15 Km
Bridge width = 22m
Two level steel composite Bridge
Bridge is Design to allocate space to fulfill its future
transportation task in the best possible way.

9. Bridge Viaduct
10
Inland Bridge( Viaduct) length
North End road viaduct = 1.48 km
South End road viaduct = 1.67 km
Rail viaduct = 0.532m
This will be the biggest floor
level on the river in Asia.
10. 10
The lower Level Railway Deck
11
• Dual gauge Rail Track
• DFC loading
• Double stack container train to fulfill present and future transportation task.
• Speed for passenger Train– 160 Km/h and Goods train – 120km/h
• Per day 80 No. train can cross.

Pile Arrangement
14
Padma bridge pile foundation will be the deepest pile foundation of its type in the world.
14. • Seismic isolation reduces the seismic loads applied to the substructure – number of piles
per pier reduced from 8 to 6.
• Plastic hinges do not form in the stem of the pier during a seismic event
• For the deck, bracing can be eliminated and section sizes reduced

Cost Saving of Padma Bridge by using Triple Pendulum
Bearing

OLE – Return period 100Yrs - No bridge damage.
CLE - Return period 475Yrs - detectable damage but repairable.

Padma River is
approximately 100
Km long.
Third largest river in
the world (discharge
150,000m3/s, average
sediment freight: 1
Billon tons/year).
Padma Bridge located
35km south-west of
Dhaka.
River Morphology

17. 17
• The Padma River is a young river (200 years in its present course)
• Complicated wandering river (changing appearance from single channel to
multiple braided channels)
• South bank fine, easily erodible soil
• In places very deep, but fast changing intervals of erosion and depositions
• River separates the south-west region from the capital city and requires time
consuming ferry crossings to major destinations

The bridge will carry not only the rail and road traffic it will also be a bridge
for “ stop and shop”.
This will be an ICONIC bridge – a magnet for tourism development in
Bangladesh.
