PM Hasina to open Kadamtali Flyover, Bangabandhu Avenue in Chittagong on Saturday

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will open the Kadamtali Flyover and Bangabandhu Avenue in Chittagong on Saturday.

She will also lay the foundation stone of a 16.5-km elevated expressway and initiate three other projects.

The six projects, under the Chittagong Development Authority (CDA), are estimated cost about Tk 50 billion. 

 

  The CDA has planned a programme at one end of the Oxygen-Kuyaish bypass, named Bangabandhu Avenue.

There will be two murals of the Father of the Nation, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, at either end of the road.

The 1.57-km Kadamtali Flyover has been built at a cost of Tk 582.2 million.

CDA Chairman Abdus Salam told the media in the port city on Thursday that the Chittagong Port would fund the construction of the elevated expressway, estimated to cost Tk 29.57 billion.

CDA would repay the port from toll tax collected for the use of the road, he said.

The three other projects the prime minister will launch include the construction of a road—called the Outer Ring Road—from Patenga to Faujdarhat and a road linking Bayzid Bostami and the Dhaka Trunk Road.
