Finally, the construction of the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib railway bridge on the Jamuna River begins. Tomorrow Sunday at 10 am, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will lay the foundation stone for this railway bridge via video conference from Ganobhaban. The inaugural function will be held in the Sirajganj District Administration Conference Room.
In this regard, the Director General of the Bangladesh Railway. Shamsuzzaman said the prime minister has drawn up a plan to build a balanced rail communication system. For this reason, a dedicated double-lane railway bridge 300 meters upstream from the Bangabandhu Bridge is being built. Once built, the two trains will be able to travel together and cross the bridge at a speed of 100 km / h. Trains running different routes in the north, south and west will be able to cross the bridge faster. The locals feel that this will reduce the suffering of railway passengers and expand trade in North Bengal.
Sirajganj Deputy Commissioner. Farooq Ahmed said that after the double-track railway bridge, two trains will be able to run without crossing.
Meanwhile, Minister of Railways Nurul Islam Sujan told a preparatory meeting on the occasion of the construction of a railway bridge in Sirajganj that JICA is implementing the project with Japanese funding. The entire process has been completed, including the tender. The construction cost of the bridge has been estimated at Tk 18,060 crore. Work will officially begin after the Prime Minister lays the foundation stone. The project will be completed in August 2024.
