Operation of the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Tunnel under the Karnaphuli river in Chattogram will start much before the scheduled date.
Planning Minister MA Mannan today said this during a meeting of Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (Ecnec).
"One end of the tunnel has already been opened, the other end will be opened this Friday," the minister said.
"Afterwards, with a little work, it will be opened for operation much before the deadline," he added.
The exact date of the opening will be announced by the concerned ministry, the minister also said.
According to schedule, the tunnel was supposed to open in December 2022.
"Usually, projects' time and cost rise, but neither happened in this case," the planning minister also said.
