Tailbacks on Dhaka-Ctg, Dhaka-Tangail highways
A 15-kilometre long tailback was created on Dhaka-Tangail highway from Gazipur’s Chandra to Tangail’s Konabari this morning due to construction works on the road and sporadic rain.
People suffered for hours on the highway as construction work of a four-lane road and a bridge are underway in Konabari and Chandra respectively, Mobarak Hossain, inspector of Konabari police outpost, told our Gazipur correspondent.
Hundreds of vehicles were moving slowly due to the construction works there, Mobarak said.
Meanwhile, an eight-kilometre traffic jam was created on Dhaka-Chittagong highway in Comilla’s Daudkandi upazila since morning, Bangla daily Prothom Alo reports.
It took five hours to reach Meghna-Gumti bridge toll plaza from Kanra in the upazila, Kabir Mia, driver of a bus owned by Seba Paribahan, told the daily.
