WORK ON DHAKA-CHITTAGONG EXPRESSWAY TO START NEXT YEAR

http://au.biz.yahoo.com/050719/17/64vq.html

DHAKA, July 19 Asia Pulse - The government decided to start next March the implementation of an ambitious project for constructing Dhaka-Chittagong expressway as a second highway between the capital and the port city.

A Malaysia-based private investment company, Ajimat Consortium, has placed a proposal with the government for implementing the project under BOT system, said Communications Minister Barrister Nazmul Huda in a meeting here today.

The meeting on the Dhaka-Chittagong Expressway Construction project under foreign private investment was held today in the conference room of the Communications Ministry.

The meeting was informed that the 210-kilometer road would be a separate route to Chittagong from Dhaka.

It was also said that the modern expressway would reach the Chittagong city passing through Narayanganj, Munshiganj, Chandpur, Laxmipur, Sonagazi, Sitakundu and Hathazari.

Each lane of the six-lane expressway would be 3-meter wide. In future, it could be turned into an eight-lane way and also have an emergency lane. Separate speed limits would be fixed for each lane, the meeting noted about the gn of the expressway, first such in Bangladesh.

Necessary information and data would be collected through CCTV installed at different points. Besides, parking places, petrol/CNG pumps, toilets, waiting rooms, prayer room and food courts will be constructed at different spots along the long way.

The construction firm would have to build two bridges over the Meghna and the Sitalakhya rivers and short flyovers at different places for smooth traffic movement and protecting arable lands.

Constituted with six Malaysian constriction firms, the consortium gave a proposal for supplying the entire expenditure for executing the project on condition that they should be given 30 years to repatriate the investment and the returns on the capital.

"An easy and comfortable communications network would be established in the country on completion of the project," the minister told the meeting.

Moghbazar-Mouchak flyover close to a reality



The gn for the long-awaited Moghbazar-Mouchak flyover was finalised last week with construction expected to cost some Tk 430crore. Work could start by January 2006, said project officials.

From the Kakrail point, the flyover would start in front of the Karnaphuli Market and run up to the Malibagh intersection before taking a left turn to Mouchak intersection where four lanes would head to Moghbazar intersection and another four going towards Rampura taking a right turn. At Moghbazar this stretch of the flyover one end would meet the surface road at New Eskaton.

"We have seen in our research that much fuel is wasted in these areas only due to traffic jams. The amount is more the Tk. 100 crore per year. So we believe that in five years, some Tk.500 crore worth of fuel could be saved through this flyover," said the team leader of the project.

The government took the initiative to construct this flyover two years ago. The Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) is in charge of implementing the project.
