ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FOR DEVELOPMENT OF MULTIPURPOSE PADMA BRIDGE

Abstract

The Padma Multipurpose Bridge Design Project
comprises a new fixed crossing of the Padma River, of
approximately 6.15 km long. In order to complement the
construction of the Project, it is mandatory to plan and
to develop road, railway, transmission and
telecommunication networks to connect with the south
western part of the country. The main purpose of this
study is to harvest energy and assesses the cumulative
environmental impact that has been caused by river
training, construction and development works. The
impacts are classified in few categories- land acquisition
and resettlement, transport and economy. Energy
harvesting though solar panel and speed breaker is
proposed to install for sake of economic and
environmental improvement. Here, the probable
environmental impacts, both positive and negative are
properly analyzed which represents a clear picture of the
environmental impact scenario of any multipurpose
bridge construction.
