Keeping in line with those initiatives, it is good to see yet another such project seeing the light of day, as the government is set to open up the 1.47km long Payra bridge in October. And once the Padma multipurpose bridge is opened for trac in June next year, the journey is expected to take even less time. Alongside that, the Payra bridge is expected to play a significant role in boosting local and regional trade, as it would ensure an uninterrupted connection with the Payra sea port.' Bangladesh has long been suffering due to its lackluster infrastructure. If it can be kept up, the only direction that Bangladesh can go is up.
