How far along is the metro rail extension?

The construction of the extension of the metro rail (MRT Line-6) from Dhaka’s Motijheel to Kamalapur is not yet complete. The viaduct, station infrastructure and rail tracks along the 1.16-kilometre route are finished, but project authorities are still working to complete the rest of the construction.
