The government has decided to allow motorcycles to ply the Padma Bridge from Thursday (April 20). 

Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader confirmed the matter today (April 18).

The motorcycles will be allowed to move through the service lane of the main bridge as per the rules starting 6am on 20 April, he added. 

On June 27 last year, the government banned the movement of motorcycles on the Padma Bridge through an official notice until further orders.
