The Bangladesh Bridge Authority (BBA) is a statutory government body responsible for the construction and maintenance of bridges, tunnels, flyovers (elevated roads), overpasses, causeways, and subways in Bangladesh. It is headquartered in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The authority operates under the purview of the Bridges Division within the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges.




Background


In 1985, the Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge Authority was established by a presidential ordinance to construct the Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge (now Bangabandhu Bridge). On 19 December 2007, the organization underwent a name change and became known as the Bangladesh Bridge Authority. According to the Bangladesh Bridge Authority Act of 2016, the authority is tasked with the implementation and maintenance of various infrastructure projects, including bridges spanning 1,500 meters or more, toll roads, flyovers, expressways, tunnels, causeways, ring roads, and other similar structures.
The agency is responsible for the implementation of the Padma Bridge. In the mid-2010s, it was involved in the Padma Bridge Corruption Scandal. However, the charges was later dismissed by both the Canadian court and Bangladesh Anti-Corruption Commission.
