Chittagong raised expressway under construction

Construction work is underway on the elevated expressway project for Chittagong in Bangladesh. The work is costing an estimated US$388 million to carry out and the expressway will measure 16.5km, with two lanes in either direction. The expressway sits on 450 supports in all and the work is being carried out in three phases. The route will carry traffic between Lalkhan in the north of the city and Shah Amanat International Airport, helping to reduce the chronic congestion that occurs at peak periods.
