In Tangail’s Basail upazila, cracks have appeared on the approach road of a newly constructed bridge costing Tk 45.59 million before its official inauguration. The bridge, located at Saidampur Bazar in Kanchanpur Union, was built by contractor firm Bashed Engineering under the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED). The 70-meter RCC girder bridge project began on April 13, 2021, with an initial completion deadline of April 12, 2022, later extended.
Local residents reported that the roadbed was not properly compacted during construction, leading to cracks that worsened with rainfall. They warned that continued rain could cause the approach road to collapse. Bashed Engineering’s manager stated that heavy rainfall and overloaded traffic caused the damage, and repairs would be made. LGED’s upazila engineer confirmed that some areas lacked block installation and that the contractor had been instructed to fix the damaged sections.
Officials said payment for the approach road work has not yet been released and that the contractor must complete repairs before final settlement.
