Padma Bridge

The Padma Bridge is a multipurpose road bridge across the Padma river, the main distributary of Ganges , under construction in Bangladesh . It will connect Louhajong, Munshiganj to Shariatpur and Madaripur, linking the south-west of the country, to northern and eastern regions. Padma Bridge is the most challenging construction project in the history of Bangladesh. The two-level steel truss bridge will carry a four-lane highway on the upper level and a single track railway on a lower level. With 150.12 m (492.5 ft) span, 6.241 km (3.878 mi) total length and 18.18 m (59.6 ft) width, it is going to be the longest bridge in Bangladesh, the second longest in the Indo-Gangetic Plain after Bhupen Hazarika Setu in Assam and the longest over Ganges in terms of both span and the total length.
