Construction of the Jamuna Bridge, now the 11th longest bridge in the world, began in October 1994 and finished in June of 1998. With the Jamuna River physically dividing Bangladesh into two halves, the Bridge was built in order to provide the first road and rail link between the relatively less-developed Northwest region of the country and the more-developed eastern half that includes the capital of Dhaka and the port of Chittagong.
