Govt to build longest bridge to link Bhola, Barishal

The government is going to build the country's longest bridge at a cost of Tk 17,000 crore to connect the island district Bhola with Barishal.

According to an official of the Bridge Division, Japanese firm Miyagawa Construction Ltd has expressed its keenness to construct the around 11- kilometre long bridge.
Talking to BSS, Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Bhola District Md. Azad Jahan said that there is a possibility to start the construction of the bridge during the interim government's tenure.
Japan has shown great interest in starting the work of the bridge, he added.
In a recent visit to the Bhola district, Chief Adviser's Special Assistant Sheikh Moinuddin said the Bhola-Barisal bridge will be an important bridge.
"It will be the longest bridge in the country. If built, the Bhola-Barisal bridge will be among the largest bridges in the world. Its work is likely to start by January," he added.
