Bridge
A road-rail bridge was proposed in 2009.
Padma bridge is the largest bridge of Bangladesh (proposed). It will cost ৳30 Billion (30,000,000,000 taka) to finish. It should be open to the public in 2013. World Bank cancelled US $ 1.2 Billion Loan to construct this bridge, putting a big question mark on the future of the bridge.

Famous quotes containing the word bridge:
“A circle swoop, and a quick parabola under the bridge arches
Where light pushes through;
A sudden turning upon itself of a thing in the air.
A dip to the water.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.
And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O, my soul.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“In bridge clubs and in councils of state, the passions are the same.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
