Online Desk: The Bangabandhu Railway Bridge over the Jamuna river is expected to open in December this year.
The bridge, which is 4.8km long, is now fully visible as installation of all 49 spans was completed last month, according to local media.
The bridge would accommodate two separate lines of dual-gauge tracks. It currently has single track opened in 1998.
Japan is bankrolling 72 per cent of the project cost as soft loans. Two Japanese joint-venture firms are carrying out the main project work inaugurated in 2016.
