Long awaited Malibagh-Mouchak flyover will be opened to traffic on October 26, official sources said.
“Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will inaugurate the final part of flyover on Thursday at 12pm through video conference,” said the project’s Director Susant Kumar Pal.
Officials of the project said that the construction work of the flyover has ended. It was supposed to open on October 15, but unavoidable circumstances deferred it.
The 8-kilometre flyover with four lanes can be accessed through loops and ramps at Tejgaon’s Satrasta, Hotel Sonargaon, Moghbazar, Holy Family Hospital in Ramna, Bangla Motor, Malibagh, Razarbagh Police Lines and Shantinagar intersection.
The section connecting FDC intersection to roads heading towards the Sonargaon Hotel was opened on May 17 this year.
On March 30 last year, the part connecting the neighbourhood around Holy Family Hospital to Tejgaon’s Satrasta was inaugurated. Before that, the part connecting Eskaton to Mouchak was opened to public on September 15.
The project’s construction work went on for six years causing sufferings to commuters and residents of the project areas.
The government finalised the project in the year of 2011.
The project expenditure was fixed Tk 772.70 crore at the beginning, but finally cost increased to Tk 1218.89 crore.
