The Payra Bridge Project in Bangladesh was originally estimated to be completed by December 2016 at a cost of Tk. 413.28 crore. However, it was completed at a cost of around Tk. 1,447 crore, taking five years longer than the original deadline. The project faced massive cost escalation due to a poorly conducted feasibility study and subsequent design changes by consultants.
