The construction of the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Railway Bridge over the Jamuna River is entering its final stage.
According to authorities, the railway bridge will be inaugurated by December this year.
Bridge Project Director Al Fattah Mohammad Masudur Rahman told bdnews24.com: "87 per cent of the work is complete. The rest of the work will be completed by December. The railway bridge, which has been a dream for people in the north, will be open for use."
According to Masudur, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will inaugurate the bridge in December.
"All preparations are being taken with this aim," he added.
The first span of the superstructure was laid down after overcoming the Jamuna River's depth and the strength of its current, paving the way for the connection between Sirajganj and Tangail.
The 4.8km-long bridge is now visible due to the links created between Sirajganj and Tangail.
