A bridge built over the Mathabhanga River in Chuadanga Sadar Upazila has remained unused for three years, as no approach roads were constructed. Senior Assistant Engineer of Chuadanga LGED, AKM Rafiqul Islam, said a new contractor will be appointed to build the approach roads and open the bridge to traffic soon. Construction of the 90m long, 5.5m wide bridge on the Pirpur–Gonjerghat road began in January 2021 with a budget of Tk 66.7 million. The contractor, however, finished the bridge without building the approach roads. Once work resumes, we’ll be able to open the bridge after completing the remaining approach roads,” he added.
