Mymensingh Five-Bridge Project

Mymensingh Five-Bridge Project Overview

The Mymensingh Five-Bridge Project is a package procurement for five road bridge crossings in the Mymensingh region of central-northern Bangladesh. It is designed to connect traffic corridors that are currently fragmented by multiple tributaries of the Brahmaputra river basin.

The project is co-issued by LGED and RHD. By bundling five bridges into one procurement package, the project improves bidding efficiency and lowers logistics and mobilization costs for equipment and manpower. Mymensingh is an agriculture and trade-oriented city about 120 km north of Dhaka.

Advantages of Package Procurement

Advantages of Package Tendering

Equipment Sharing5-site crane/pile-driver rotation

WorkforceReduced crew mobilization cost

MaterialsLower unit rates through bulk procurement

ScheduleOverlapping works shorten timeline

Technical Challenges

GeotechnicalDifferent subsurface conditions by bridge

HydrologyRainy season rise over 5m

AccessWeak rural approach roads

MaterialLimited local concrete production

Opportunities for Korean Firms

Package-Based EPC

A Korean contractor can pursue package-level EPC implementation for all five bridges and mobilize specialized bridge construction equipment across the five sites. The core competitiveness is the ability to manage simultaneous execution across multiple sites.

Precast Girder Plant

Korean firms can set up a precast production facility near Mymensingh to deliver PC and PSC girders for the package at scale. This supports transfer of technical know-how and can be reused for future bridge programs.

Equipment and Components Export

Bridge bearings, expansion joints, parapets, and lighting systems can be supplied as a package for volume economics and price competitiveness against spot procurement.

Construction Management Consulting

Korean firms can provide CM consulting for concurrent construction, quality assurance, and safety governance across five sites, establishing an integrated control framework for multi-site execution.
