Rangamati-Ctg road

Work on Bailey bridge starts

Rangamati: Work on a 50-metre Bailey bridge on Rangamati-Chittagong road at Shalban began on Tuesday to make the road fit for the heavy vehicles, reports UNB.

The Roads and Highways Department is constructing the bridge as a 100-metre portion of the road totally collapsed in the massive landsides on June 13.

The work is scheduled to end by 20-25 days.

On June 21, the Rangamati-Chittagong road was reopened to light vehicles, nearly eight days after it became unfit for vehicular movement due to the landslides.

A total of 120 people, including five army men, were killed in Rangamati in the deadliest hillslides.
