Internet users in Dhaka are set to get faster bandwidth thanks to Padma Bridge as the Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL) has laid fibre-optic cables on its lower deck to reduce the time taken for data to travel between the capital and submarine cable landing station in Kuakata.
A total of 15,200 vehicles crossed Padma Bridge in the first eight hours today (June 26, 2022) – after the authorities opened the bridge to traffic at 6:00am.
The government has urged all to pay toll to cross the newly opened Padma Bridge.
TikTokers and YouTubers are already thronging the Padma Bridge – a day after its opening yesterday (June 25, 2022). They were seen stopping motorbikes and private cars on Padma Bridge – taking photos and shooting videos for social media content.
