Jamuna
Bridge
|
A
milestone in the history of modern development of
Bangladesh. It is the single largest project Bangladesh
has ever implemented. The bridge was constructed
on the river Jamuna connecting east and north-western
region of the country. The 4.8 km. long bridge was
constructed at a cost of US$ 950 million thus
creating an uninterrupted surface transport facility
from Teknaf, southernmost tip of Bangladesh to Tetulia,
the northern tip of Bangladesh. |
|
|
Construction of this bridge ushered a new vista
to national integration, economic rejuvenation
of the northern region, especially tourism development
of the country. The Jamuna Bridge Authority (JBA)
has a plan to build an international standard tourism
resort on the eastern side of the bridge by turning
surplus infrastructure and constructing new ones
and recreational facilities.
