The Bangabandhu Bridge Tourism Development Project (BBTBP)

Proposals are being invited from interested developers for a 30 year concession to develop the Eastern end of the bridge site into a tourist and leisure facility.

It is expected that the development will include a golf course, hotel and conference facilities.

An initial invitation to submit expressions of interest generated a keen response and JMBA is now looking forward to the evaluation of proposals which will result in the transformation of the area at the bridge end into popular leisure destination

Project Archives

A considerable amount of written material has been produced in relation to the project. This includes the initial feasibility studies, contract documentation, progress reports and countless other documents. This material is not only of interest to historians. There are many lessons to learn on the implementation of a complex project such as this. Lessons which will assist in the implementation of future projects.

To ensure maximum use is made of the documentation produced on the Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge Project, JMBA is commissioning a comprehensive archiving exercise which will utilise modern technology (for example cd storage and hypertext links) to enable information to be searched for and retrieved on all aspects of the project.

This initiative is being supported and financed by the project Co-Financiers

Bangabandhu Bridge - The Book!

Another initiative carrying the full support of the Co-Financiers, contractors and consultants concerned with the project is the publication of a book. This will contain the essential information relating to the experience of constructing the bridge. The contractors and consultants working with JMBA have all expressed a willingness to contribute to this venture by the provision of funds, and individuals within these organisations have offered their services to write appropriate chapters or sections of the publication. Completion is expected by December 1999.
