There is no connecting road, the 34 crore bridge is not working.

The Ghiore bridge in Manikganj, constructed at a cost of 34 crore taka under the CIBRR Project, remains unused for two years due to the absence of connecting roads. Despite completion of bridge infrastructure, land acquisition complexities stall road construction. Around 50 villages risk crossing the river daily. Locals express frustration over the delay, impacting communication between Ghior upazila and the district headquarters. Construction companies' delays and compensation issues hinder progress. The contracting company manager cites landowners' reluctance without compensation, exacerbating the situation. Officials assure imminent distribution of compensation checks, but the delay persists. Residents lament the need to travel 15 km for emergencies. Upazila engineers expect work to resume after compensation distribution. Despite assurances, ongoing land acquisition processes prolong the bridge's utility delay.
