The Padma Multipurpose Bridge is the longest bridge in Bangladesh, stretching over 6.15 km in length and 16.10 m in width. It was officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on June 25, 2022, and is the largest infrastructure project implemented by Bangladesh without any foreign aid. The bridge connects Mawa in Munshiganj district to Jajira in Shariatpur district and has two layers, with a four-lane road on the top and a railway on the bottom. The Padma Bridge is expected to greatly contribute to the social, economic, and industrial development of southern Bangladesh by reducing travel time, transportation cost, and increasing trade and investment opportunities. It will also be used for future rail, gas, power line, and fiber optic cable expansion.
