Padma Bridge authorities said the bridge became visible at 5,600 meters after span 36 was placed at posts 1 and 2 on the Mawa side at 2.35pm on Saturday.
Of the 41 spans of the 6.15 km long double-decker bridge, only three spans remain. There are also plans to install these three sections on the next Victory Day.
With this information, Padma Bridge Executive Engineer (Main Bridge) Dewan. Abdul Quader said the floating ship ‘Tian E’ took the stretch from the Kumarbhog construction yard at 9 am.
After delivering the span named ‘1-A’ to the post, the installation work began. The span installation was completed at 2:15 p.m. after anchoring and other ancillary works.
At the beginning of November 12, span 36 was placed at poles 9 and 10 on the Mawa side.
Abdul Quader said that after installing 36 spans, the bridge is now visible at 5,700 meters.
Noting that other bridge activities are developing at an accelerated pace, he said 1,211 road slabs and 1,700 rail slabs have already been installed.
Work on bridging and river governance is also progressing rapidly. The progress of the main bridge is 90 percent and the overall progress is 72 percent.
Authorities expect the Padma Bridge, which began operation in December 2014, to open in 2021.
