Breaking new ground on Bangladesh’s first underwater tunnel
Bangladesh is a country of rivers. The Karnaphuli River services the city of Chattogram (formerly called Chittagong), the largest sea port of Bangladesh. With the rapid development of southeast Bangladesh, especially in the regions south of Chattogram, the two existing bridges over the Karnaphuli River are inadequate to accommodate the increase in traffic.

While technology has advanced rapidly, water is and will continue to be an essential and ever scarcer global resource."
