Metropolis Report-
Commuters now find it much simpler to cross the Padma River thanks to the Padma Bridge, which has substantially enhanced transportation in southern Bangladesh.
The commuters are expressing their happiness with the new system as the megastructure’s first anniversary is commemorated.
The greater connectivity is advantageous to everyone, including bikers, truckers, and bus owners.
Between Dhaka and Shariatpur, the bridge has facilitated transport and reduced the cost and inconvenience of commuting.
The bridge now has better protection thanks in part to more police patrols and special duty law enforcement personnel.
At the toll plaza, the automatic toll system (OTC) is about to go live. Around Tk800 crores worth of tolls were collected in the first year, with the daily average exceeding Tk2.10 core.
