The Moghbazar-Mouchak Flyover will be opened in March this year for vehicular movement.
Construction works of this flyover has been going in full swing. Nearly total of nine kilometers long flyover, from Holy Family Hospital to Tejgaon Satrasta Crossing will be opened for traffic in March and the construction works will end in February.
After opening of this flyover , the 2nd part from Mouchak to Bangla Motor Crossing is scheduled to be opened in June and 3rd part from Kakrail to Rampura in December, 2016.
Although the proposal to increase the construction cost and to extend the time for one year of the flyover has been placed in the Ministry of Planning and it is expected that it would be passed in ECNEC meeting on 19 January, sources said.
When the three parts of the flyover will be opened fully for traffic movement, it would remove the traffic congestion in this area and reduce the people’s sufferings to some extent. Local Government and Engineering Department (LGED) is constructing this flyover.
Project Director Md Nazmul Alam said , the first part of this flyover stretched from Moghbazar to Holy Family Hospital Crossing will be opened in March. It will have earthquake resistance richter magnitude scale-10 and pilling of pillars is 40 meters depth beneath the earth. This flyover touches 8 points of the city like Satrasta, Moghbazar, Mouchak, Santinagar, Malibagh, Choudhurypara, Ramna and Sonargaon Rail Crossing. The construction of pilling and pillars in 2.2 kilometers of the flyover from Bangla Motor to Moghbazar Crossing and the super structure from Satrasta to Holy Family Crossing and Bangla Motor to Mouchak Crossing are almost completed. The four lanes flyover has 15 ramps in eight points for pedestrians to use the flyover.
Additionally, under this project the government has extended 450 meters length of this flyover from BFDC to Sonargaon Hotel Crossing .
Now the total length of the flyover has come up 8.7 kilometers. The project cost has also been increased and extended time is required due to construction of additional length of the flyover, change of foundation design for utility services, increase of number of pillars, installing pot-bearing for earthquake resistance, and shock transmission unit in construction.
