Bangladesh has officially opened its longest bridge, linking the capital, Dhaka, and the southwest.
The nearly $4bn project suffered cost overruns and delays after the World Bank pulled funding following allegations of corruption.
The bridge was eventually funded domestically and built by China.
Al Jazeera’s @Tanvir Chowdhury reports from Mawa, Bangladesh.

WILL BANGLADESHI EAT BRIDGE THREE TIMES A DAY ?
CHINA ATE FROM THIS PROJECT ?
What a namak harams, no mention of China being the builder and finanacier by Bangladeshis on the net
It is a beautiful bridge.And Dhaka Mawa expressway is a breathtaking expressway.
Bangladesh needs to build 4 lane road allover Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Road infrastructure is in bad condition compare to India and Pakistan.
Bangladesh textile industry is doing well.
🇧🇩🥲🥲😁😁❤️❤️
aljazira; – I only learned 6 km long bridge cost billions. but how about the bridge specifications? how much toll will be charged? could Patel walk his herd through? nonetheless great job Bangladesh
Shekh Hasina didn’t take a loan from the World Bank! Bcz, he can’t be corrupt,she has looted a lot of loans from China, she has done corruption,embezzled a lot of people’s wealth. We have a huge debt on our shoulders. People’s are untying the nut bolts with their hands, making tiktok.What a bridge it was?
🤩 wow
A great milestone!
Hopefully, this is not backed by Chinese loans.
MASHALLAH happy to see your progress and pray that Allah give you more success our brother and sisters of BANGLADESH from PAKISTAN.
Congratulations for your future, Bangladesh. May God bless this country and the people with good health and wealth and also wisdom.
Congrats to bangladesh
It’s a great project. Hopefully, climate change won’t affect it too much given the sea level of Bangladesh.

As a Bangladeshi I can say that
“India ki jali”
@not_the_devil_doge hello poor kanglu 😂😂
Good repeat, but Mr Tanveer the reporter, pronunciation of Dhaka you should not say Daaca. You should respect your language first. We are warrior don’t forget. We get our mother tongue with lots of blood. No one should buy it from you. Be respectful while speaking Bangla.

Rendians who are barking here about china ! Go get a life
Good to see Bangladesh developing
Congratulations Bangladesh . This is the really good work for a country development . you Bangladeshis should proud to yourself as you have a great prime minister like sekh Hasina. Other neighbor country should Learn this that making a 600 feet long statue and waisted 28 billion dollars is not a country development, This is not your money its the money of taxpayers . so you can not waist this by making such show off. Learn from sekh hasina that how she developing Bangladesh step by step. Good work and Thank you.
What a waste of money, they should build a temple instead like India! 😇
Congratulations to Bangladesh from pakistan
In the future Bangladesh will doing a lot of big projects In shaa allah.
Whenever I see India is criticizing or barking about China, it’s like no other country but India fears the most of China’s development, cause India is nothing when you compare with China
Hope its not on Chinese loan
Too nice. Thank you.
