Bangladesh's longest bridge, which took eight years to build amid setbacks involving political conflict and corruption allegations, stands over Padma River on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh, Saturday, June 25, 2022. The 6.51-kilometer (4.04-mile) bridge cost an estimated $3.6 billion and was paid for with domestic funds after the World Bank and other global lending agencies declined to finance the project following a graft scandal involving a Canadian construction company linked to the bridge.
