INTRODUCTION
The Padma Bridge is a multipurpose road-rail bridge across the Padma river to be
constructed in Bangladesh. Padma Bridge is the most challenging construction
project in the history of Bangladesh. The two level steel truss bridge will carry
four-lane highway on the upper level & a single track railway on the lower level.
The bridge with 150.12m span 6.150km total length and 18.18m width it is going
to be the largest bridge in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna river basins of
country in terms of both span and the total length. Two points connected by total
41 spans.

4. DESCRIPTION
The project covers three districts-
Munshiganj(Mawa Point), Shariatpur &
Madaripur(janjira) point. The total area of
land to be acquired and required for its
components is 918 hectares. The requisition of
land for the construction yard will be for six
years on a rental basis. As per the new design,
an additional 144.04 has been identified for
acquisition, bringing the total land 1062.14
hectares. This additional land is required
because project site lost significant land due to
erosion, for transition structures & due to
change in railway alignment.

Padma bridge project cost is
estimated to be US$3.00 billion. The
Padma Multipurpose Bridge project
was designed to be funded by donors
such as the world Bank, Japan
International Cooperation Agency,
Asian Development Bank & Islamic
Development Bank. After a scandal of
alleged corruption by some people
associated with Bank withdrew it’s
commitment & other donors followed.
The project is now being funded from
own resources of Government of
Bangladesh. After decision of
Bangladesh Govt. that we will
construct the bridge by own fund.

7. ADVANTAGES OF PADMA BRIDGE
1) Increase the nation’s economy..
2) Develop railway connection.
3) Develop industrial sector.
4) Increase working sector.
5) Improve the country’s surface transport system.
6) Utilities can pass through Padma bridge like
gas, Electricity, optical fiber for
telecommunication.
Benefits of building road and rail
transportation across the river would come
from three main sources: decreased vehicle
operation costs, increased time saving and a
boost in GDP due to increased economic
activities. Main benefits of this project at
present we need more then 1 hour to cross
the river. After complete this Padma Bridge
we can cross it within 6 minutes.
