Bangladesh Railway is implementing the Padma Bridge Rail Link Project, the railway’s biggest project, to build a 169-km rail line from Dhaka to Jashore via the Padma Bridge at a cost of Tk 39,247 crore. The authorities are hopeful of opening the Dhaka-Bhanga section of the line within June this year. Installation of tracks on a major part of the section has already been done.
