Jam, poor roads to Babu Bazar Bridge

All vehicles, including buses to and from southern Bangladesh, used the Babu Bazar Bridge on the Buriganga River to leave or enter Dhaka as the Postogola Bridge was closed for repairs on Monday. The extra pressure, coupled with poor condition of the roads and roadwork, made traffic congestions worse in the areas surrounding the Babu Bazar bridge.

Traffic congestion in the Naya Bazar area is further compounded by the long-distance bus halting on the middle of the street to drop passengers after descending from the Babu Bazar Bridge. Photo: Mahmud Zaman Ovi

The pressure of long distance vehicles, coupled with roadwork, has increased the amount of dust on the road in the Naya Bazar area, making it challenging for people to travel through. Photo: Mahmud Zaman Ovi
