Background

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.[1] There will be a provision to include a gas transmission pipeline through the bridge.[5] In November 2020, it was reported that the construction on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Railway Bridge had started.[4]
