Jamuna Bridge: Two eras of history and a modern rail bridge
 |

I am presenting to you the largest bridge to enter North Bengal. We travel through the largest bridge in North Bengal. When I go home and what is at home, I have to cross this Jamuna Bridge. Because today I have to cross the Jamuna River to go home. There is no alternative.
This Jamuna Bridge was opened in 1998. The length of this Jamuna Bridge is 4800 meters. Of course, it is one of the largest bridges in Bangladesh. Many cars travel here every day. The daily toll/money collected is about three crore taka. Source
I found in one information, daily vehicles travel on this Jamuna Bridge about 50 thousand. But it could be a little more or less than this. So the toll plaza can collect a lot. If I show you the calculation, you will see:-
| No. | List of vehicles | Toll (money) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Motorcycle | 50 |
| 2 | Car/Jeep | 550 |
| 4 | Big bus 32 seats or more | 1000 |
| 5 | Small bus 31 seats or less | 750 |

I went home for two days of leave. This picture was taken when I was coming back to Dhaka after staying at home for two days.
While arriving, S.Travel's Bus 🚌 was calling, come on, brother, come on, we will leave quickly. After leaving, they just said that our car will leave very quickly because we have a reserve at around 8 pm. So our car will leave quickly, we will only take a few passengers to collect toll/money and then leave.

After getting into the car, I waited for a maximum of 25 minutes, then they let me go. I sat inside the bus for these 25 minutes and went outside to eat ghol. Another famous food of Sirajganj is ghol.

The price of 500 mg of ghol was 50 taka. That is, the price of one liter was 100 taka. It was very hot. And at that time I got ghol. My body got cold, because it was very delicious to eat. I have put your location here so that you can come here and you can also eat ghol from that place.Location

The bus left for Nabinagar. If two of them find a passenger from a big stand somewhere, they pick him up. Because the bus is completely empty and has left to reach its destination with a few passengers.
I reached in front of the Jamuna Toll Plaza. Let's watch a little video of the Jamuna Bridge. Okay, so before that, let's take a look at the toll plaza when entering the Jamuna Bridge.

Every car comes here serially and each car pays its toll fee to get on the bridge. The bus goes through one lane and the truck goes through the other lane. We paid a toll fee of 1000 taka while going to get on the Jamuna Bridge.

Now we went on the bridge with the bus. Then we could see that a big Jamuna Railway Bridge has been built on our left side as we were walking through the Jamuna Bridge. Now I will share one of my posts with you, you will see that the construction of this railway bridge was going on a year ago. The Diary Game || 16 Apr 2024 || Travel on the roof of the train
So you can say that it has been a year but where did the train travel before? The bridge we are crossing is the same as the 20th tour, that is, the train used to travel on one side of the same bridge and the buses used to travel on the other side.
Since this bridge is more than two decades old. Therefore, there are rickshaws during the movement of the train. Also, the train runs at a slow speed. Due to which the passengers lose a lot of time.
Alhamdulillah, now the train crosses the newly built bridge at a much faster speed on the opposite side. Now there is no rickshaw and no waste of time.

It takes about 15 minutes to go by bus, sometimes even 12 minutes. If the car is in good condition and goes a little faster, you can cross in a short time.
I have also shared a picture of myself while I was traveling by bus. The bus was not going very fast. Even then, it was good, it took us 12 minutes to go from one side of the bridge to the other.
I recorded a short video while traveling by bus to show you that the bridge that was under construction a year ago is now complete and trains are running.
