The gas pipeline is part of a larger bridge construction project, announced in July of 2019. Under the project, a dedicated double track railway bridge (approximately 4.8 km) will be constructed over the River Jamuna, parallel to and approximately 300m upstream of the existing Bangabandhu Bridge.[2] There will be a provision to include a gas transmission pipeline through the bridge.[1] In September 2019 it was reported that the bridge project had gone four years without a contractor and was scheduled to be completed in 2023.[3]
