Bangladesh to improve intermodal connections
The Asian Development Bank has approved USD 42 million in project readiness financing (PRF) for a facility to help improve transport connectivity and promote multimodal transport in Bangladesh.
Transport demand is expanding nationwide but insufficient transport infrastructure results in increased costs and transport time and impeded economic growth in Bangladesh.
The PRF will support project preparation in areas including road and rail connectivity of ports, land ports and border crossing points as well as road and rail connectivity of intermodal transhipment facilities, including inland container depots and inland container terminals. (ben)
