At the end of the tenure, before the vote, the country's most discussed infrastructure has been seen as a big challenge for the government to finish construction of the Padma Multipurpose Bridge.
Although the structure of the bridge has been visible by setting up a span on two peers in September, the suspicion is not based on whether the original bridge will be completed within the stipulated time of November 2018.
The government's claim that the bridge work will be completed within a certain time
However, Jamilur Reza Chowdhury, chief of the project team of the Padma bridge project, says it will take another month to finish the job.
He told bdnews24.com that the work of the bridge is going on in full swing. Due to the structure of the ground, there was a need to make changes in design with the setting of 14 peers.
"There is less chance of completion of work in a specified time."
But labor minister Obaidul Quader told bdnews24.com, "We hope that the Padma bridge will be completed within next year and it will be done."
According to the information provided on the website of the Padma bridge project, the project costing Tk 28,800 crore has been completed by November till 49 percent.
In this, 52% of the work of the main bridge and the work of river administration ended 34.35%. Outside, the work on connecting roads and service areas at Mawa and Jazira end has been completed.
There will be 41 spans on a total of 42 peers to build the main infrastructure of the bridge. Of this, only two peer spans have been completed till November. The remaining 40 piers and the span on them are progressing.
On September 30, the structure of the bridge was made by installing the first span of 150 meters on the Peer 37 and 38 peer on Padma bridge, which was seen as a progress in Padma bridge work in 2017.
Although the work of the other piers of the bridge continued, due to the depth of the need to change the design of the 14 peacocks in the river and delay in starting 'test piling', there was doubt about the completion of the work at certain times.
According to the latest estimates, the work of top section of 80 piles of 240 piles has been completed to set up the pearl of Padma bridge.
Meanwhile, along with the main work of the Padma Bridge, the river administration is fast moving forward. About 35 lakh blocks were created in the required 33 lakh concrete blocks.
Although the work of river governance ended more than 34 percent, progress in the work was about 56 percent.
After inspecting the implementation and implementation of the government's implementation, the IMED project area finalized a report on November 20, so that the project is said to be eight months behind the project.
As a result, the company has made some recommendations to expedite the work by expressing doubts about the completion of this bridge by December 2015.
The IMED report says that 14 out of 42 peer pills designs are under amended. Asked about the efforts of the project authorities to find out when they are available.
Talking to multiple officials related to the project, it is known that some peer to go deeper to 128 meters. But it can not be done considering the soil condition.
For this reason, the construction of new designs is going on further increasing the number of peers in the middle of the river.
Jamilur Reza Chowdhury said that the work will be completed soon.
He said, "The work of piling of those piers is to be completed by May next May." Otherwise, there may be problem in piling in the rainwater due to the increase of water in the rainy season. "
According to agreement with the China Major Bridge Engineering Company for construction of the main bridge, the work is expected to start from November 2014, but it is delayed a few months.
The experimental piling work started in March 2015 in March. Later, the Prime Minister inaugurated the construction of the main bridge in December of that year.
The project director of Padma Bridge project Shafiqul Islam also hoped that the work would be completed at certain times.
He told bdnews24.com, "There are different types of soil structure and it changes at times. We are now working on one such issue. "
Shafiqul said, "We are hopeful that we will be able to finish the bridge on a specific basis even after increasing the manpower and machinery."
