Bangladesh lays in the downstream of the Jamuna, the Padma
and the Meghna rivers. Hence many IFIs have been lending a
helping hand in the construction of bridges in Bangladesh.
The Padma Multipurpose Bridge construction plan was formulated
to provide convenient access to the southwestern parts by
building a bridge on the Padma river. However, like other
bridge construction projects in Bangladesh, it is feared that
there will be negative environmental and social impact due
to the construction of the Padma Multipurpose Bridge Project.
