The Jamuna New Rail Bridge is a major railway infrastructure project in Bangladesh, being constructed parallel to the existing Bangabandhu Bridge over the Jamuna River. This 4.8-kilometer-long dedicated railway bridge aims to enhance rail connectivity between the eastern and western parts of the country, improving both passenger and freight transportation. The project, estimated to cost around $1.2 billion, is being implemented with financial assistance from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). It is part of Bangladesh’s broader strategy to modernize its railway network and support regional trade. The bridge is designed to accommodate dual-gauge tracks, allowing both broad-gauge and meter-gauge trains to operate efficiently. Once completed, the bridge will reduce travel time, increase train frequencies, and boost economic activities by facilitating smoother and faster transportation. Unlike the Bangabandhu Bridge, which serves both road and rail traffic, the Jamuna New Rail Bridge is dedicated solely to rail operations, ensuring greater safety and efficiency. Construction began in 2021, and the bridge is expected to be completed by 2025. This ambitious project marks a significant step toward Bangladesh’s vision of a modernized and interconnected railway system, strengthening trade and mobility across the country and beyond.
