The construction of the 3.1-km flyover has cost Tk 3.06 billion, although the initial estimate was Tk 2.54 billion.
The capital’s development authority, RAJUK, financed the project by itself.
This toll-free flyover can be accessed from four sides – Banani, Kuril, Khilkeht, and Purbachal.
Hasina had launched the construction work on May 2, 2010.
The 47.57-ft-high flyover is 30.18 feet wide. It has 292 piles, 68 pile caps, and 67 peers, according to RAJUK.
The flyover has three connecting roads on three sides.
Project Builders Limited carried out the construction work.
A total of 13 acres of land from the railway authorities and private owners was acquired for the project with Tk 0.47 billion.
It took 38 months to complete the core structure.
