The bridge is being constructed by a consortium of five companies from China, India, and Bangladesh. The construction work is expected to be completed by 2021. The bridge is expected to be 6.15km long, with a total of 41 spans.
The bridge is designed to be able to withstand earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters, and will be equipped with the latest safety and security features. The bridge will also feature a four-lane highway, and will be able to carry up to 10,000 vehicles per day.
