Padma Bridge, the Dream Bridge of Bangladeshi people, was built by CREC with Bangladesh's own funds and has been open to traffic since June, 2022. The Padma Bridge Rail Link will also be completed soon.

As a trailblazer and pioneer of the Belt and Road Initiative, China Railway Group Limited (CREC) has actively explored the market in Bangladesh since the 1990s and significantly contributed to Bangladesh's economy. CREC is the contractor of the Padma Bridge and its rail link, two most essential infrastructure among the ten critical projects in Bangladesh. As Bangladesh's most significant and longest road-cum-rail bridge with a 4-lane roadway on the upper level and a single-track railway on the lower level, the Padma Bridge connects the east and west railway networks of the country and directly benefits 80 million Bangladeshi people, thereby stimulates Bangladesh's GDP growth by 1.23 per cent and reduces poverty rate by 0.84 per cent on yearly basis.
