Finance Minister AMA Muhith says a new 12km flyover will be built in the capital Dhaka to ease traffic congestion.
Presenting the 2017-28 budget in parliament on Thursday, he said an initiative has also been taken to construct a 16km elevated expressway from Lalkhan Bazar to Shah Amanat Airport to ease the congestion in the port city of Chittagong.

He said the government had also planned to establish one new ‘Driver Testing and Training Centre’ in each divisional city as “there is no alternative to improved institutional training for drivers for easing traffic congestion and preventing road accidents”.
