UNDER-CONSTRUCTION BRIDGE

Low clearance to bar vessel movement in Moyur river

UNB, Khulna
The under-construction bridge over the river Moyur at Gollamari in Khulna will be apparently a big hurdle for the vessels plying this waterway.
The Roads and Highways Department is constructing the bridge, keeping its girder only 4/5 feet above the river surface
Consequently, when the water level will rise during monsoon or for any other reason, it will be almost impossible for a vessel to move under the bridge.
Civic leaders and Khulna City Corporation authorities expressed worry over the bridge being constructed at so less height. According to them, there will be of no use to implement a mega project taken up to give the river a new lease of life.
The project works mainly include dredging of the river and raising its embankment.
Plan has also been taken to turn the river into a reservoir of sweet water, to be supplied to the city dwellers, and to set up a park on its bank.
There will be an arrangement for running paddle cars and speed boats on the river from the park.
So the civic leaders think if the waterway is blocked through the faulty contsruction of the bridge, the river, which once used to flow in a full stream, would turn into a dead canal.
The authorities concerned with the project said Khulna City Corporation has taken the massive scheme to save the river already in a morbid state for grabbing and pollution following movement of the civic bodies.
The dredging work of the river at a cost of Tk 6 crore under the City Development Project is already underway.
Sources at the Roads and Highways Department said they are constructing the new bridge at Gallamari involving Tk 6.90 crore as the old one beside has become unfit for use.
The construction work of the bridge began on October 6, 2013. Now the construction work of its girder is continuing.
Mostafa Munshi, sub-assistant engineer of the Roads and Highways Department, said the height of the girder will be 2.6 metres.
He also claimed that there would be six feet open space under the girder for a vessel to move.
