The six-lane 3rd Shitalakhya Bridge, which is expected to open at the month end or first week of next month, will connect Narayanganj city with Bandar upazila, boosting economy, easing the communication between Chattogram and southwestern districts via Padma Bridge, reports BSS.
The project director of the bridge Shoaib Ahmed said, “Once the 1.29 kilometer long bridge is opened, Chattogram region-bound vehicles from southwestern region and vice-versa will be able to bypass Narayanganj city to avoid traffic congestion and saves time.”
Country's economy will get boosted up significantly after opening of the bridge as it will reduce the travel time of vehicles bound to and from southeastern part of the country, he said.
The country will get maximum benefit from the Padma Bridge after reconnecting the roads with it, he added.
