Elevated expressway project to linger for 3 more years Moghbazar-Plassey new link being added 16th January, 2021 10:39:18 The Dhaka elevated expressway project, designed to ease traffic gridlock in the city, is set to linger for at least 3.5 more years with cost hike as a new link is being added to the project. The new link will start from Moghbazar rail crossing and end at Plassey intersection after travelling through Sonargaon hotel-Hatirpool-Katabon-Dhaka University areas. Bangladesh Bridge Authority (BBA) has placed a second revision proposal for support to ‘Dhaka Elevated Expressway PPP Project,’ seeking time extension and cost hike, planning commission sources said. “The project duration is being extended and the cost is slightly rising as a new link from Moghbazar rail crossing-Sonargaon hotel-Hatirpool-Katabon-Dhaka University-Plassey intersection will be added to it,” said Kazi Fakhrul Alam, assistant engineer of the project.
