Automated toll system introduced

For the first time in Bangladesh automated toll system has been introduced for motor vehicles crossing the Meghna Bridge and the Gumti Bridge on Dhaka-Chattagram Highway.

“The automated system has been installed for one of the lanes of the bridges and if it gains popularity, all the lanes would be brought under this system,” said Secretary of Road Transport and Highways Md Nazrul Islam.

He said this while inaugurating Windshield Based First Track Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) at Meghna Bridge toll plaza today, said a press release of the Road Transport and Bridges Ministry.

Nazrul Islam also urged everyone to support this new system so that it gains popularity and added that the newly constructed bridges would open for public before the coming Eid-ul-Fitr.
