The box girder of elevated railway of Padma Bridge Rail Link Project is installed at Keraniganj on the outskirts of capital Dhaka, Bangladesh, Dec. 31, 2019. About two months into the commencement of a project linking capital Dhaka's central Kamalapur railway station with a western Bangladesh district, the Chinese engineers on Tuesday successfully installed the first box girder of the country's longest elevated railway. The 17-km elevated railway is a part of China-financed Padma Bridge Rail Link Project which Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated by unveiling its foundation plaque at a ceremony in Munshiganj on the outskirts of Dhaka in 2018.
