Which bank will help to build a bridge crossing the Brahmaputra River in Mymensingh?

The government has signed a $260 million loan agreement with the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to build a bridge crossing the Brahmaputra River in Mymensingh.

To reduce traffic congestion on the existing Shambhuganj Bridge over the Brahmaputra River, the Roads and Highways Department (RHD) will build the proposed Kewatkhali Bridge on the river, says a press release.

According to the release, the construction of the new bridge is expected to facilitate road connectivity between several districts of Mymensingh division and land ports, EPZs, and economic zones in the region. Construction is scheduled to be completed by June 2025.
