History
The Padma Bridge Rail Link Project brings South and South Western regions of Bangladesh under the railway network.[4] In the first phase, an initiative was taken to construct a broad gauge railway spanning 172 km from Dhaka's Kamalapur to Jessore in the southwestern district.[5]
On October 9, 2016, permission was given to build a railway from Faridpur's Bhanga Junction railway station to Port of Payra. Later, the project was extended from Payra to Kuakata. Construction was to start in 2022 with completion in 2030.[2]
The feasibility study proposal along with detailed design was approved by the Planning Minister on 9 October 2016. A consulting contract was signed on June 19, 2018. Project implementation progress is 40%.[6]
