FY 17-18: 12kms flyover proposed for Dhaka residents

Staff Correspondent: Finance Minister AMA Muhith has proposed an initiative to construct a flyover for Dhaka dwellers in a bid to ease traffic congestion.

The minister came up with the proposal while he was addressing his budget speech of the coming fiscal year 2017-18 on Thursday.

Muhith in his budget speech said 12 kilometre-flyover from Shantinagar to Dhaka-Mawa road would be built to ease traffic congestion of the capital city.

“Given that there is no alternative to improved institutional training for drivers for easing traffic congestion and preventing road accidents, we have planned to establish one new Driver Testing and Training Centre in each divisional city,” the minister said.
