Watch: A visit to Bangladesh's first underwater tunnel

The construction of the much-awaited Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Tunnel, the first under-river tunnel in South Asia, is nearing completion. The length of the tunnel will be 3.4 kilometers, with an approach road of 5.35 kilometers alongside a 727-meter bridge linking the main city, port and the western side of the Karnaphuli River with its eastern side. CGTN reporter Wu Bin visits the tunnel together with employees of China Communications Construction Company.
