Bangladesh: 8th Bangladesh-China Friendship Bridge to be inaugurated soon

DHAKA, 04 July 2022, (TON): The eighth Bangladesh-China Friendship Bridge will be handed over to the Bangladesh government and inaugurated soon.

According to the Chinese Enterprises Association in Bangladesh “Constructed by China Railway 17th Bureau Group Co Ltd and managed by China Railway Major Bridge Reconnaissance and Design Institute Co Ltd, the bridge passed the completion acceptance of the Roads and Highways Department on June 9.”

The CEAB said “the formal handover and inauguration of the bridge would take place soon.”

The 2.96-km bridge over the Kocha River is located 185km southwest of Dhaka in Pirojpur.

Local residents, who now use ferries and boats to cross the river, will benefit immensely once the bridge is opened to traffic, as it would cut travel time to just minutes.
