The 39th span of the Padma bridge was installed on Friday, making a 5.85km stretch of the main structure visible.
Only two more spans are needed to complete the 6.15 kilometre long bridge, reports our Munshiganj correspondent.
The “2D” span was installed over the pillars no. 10 and 11 at Munshganj’s Maowa end within six days of installation of the 38th
span, said Dewan Abdul Kader, executive engineer and project manager (main bridge).
A specialised floating crane took the span to the designated poles from Mawa’s Kumarbhog Construction Yard around 9am, he added.
The procedure was completed successfully around 12:22pm with no glitches amid favourable weather, the engineer added.
With this, a total of four spans were installed in November as per the target.
