PROJECTS

Inner Ring Road
It is also known as the Dhaka Circular Road.
The western portion (Abdullahpur - Dhaur -
Birulia - Gabtoli - Babubazar - Kadamtoli -
Teghoria - Postogola - Fatulla - Chashara -
Haziganj - Shimrail - Demra) will be
implemented by RHD. There will be few changes
in the RSTP shown alignment due to changes in
the plan and new infrastructures.
Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB)
will construct an embankment on the Eastern
Bypass side (25.85 km, Demra - Purbachal Road
- Teromukh - Abdullahpur). A project is already
underway. There is also a proposal from
Bangladesh Bridge Authority (BBA) to build an
elevated expressway along the median in this
section.

Middle Ring Road
The alignment of the middle ring road is
Hemayetpur - Kalakandi - 3rd Shitalakkhya
Bridge - Madanpur - Bhulta (along Dhaka
bypass) - Kodda (Gazipur) - Bypile (DEPZ) -
Hemayetpur. RHD has signed a contract with
China Joint Venture Company to construct 48
km Dhaka bypass (Joydebpur - Debugram -
Bhulta - Madanpur) in eastern side by PPP
which will be completed in September, 2022.
The western side of Middle Ring Road
(Hemayetpur - Kalakandi - 3rd Shitalakkhya
Bridge - Madanpur) is under consideration for
construction with G2G on PPP basis with
Marubeni Corporation of Japan. Most likely it
will be at-grade.
On the other hand, BBA has completed a
feasibility study for an expressway starting
from Baliapur (on Dhaka - Aricha Highway)
along Nimtoli - Keraniganj - Fatullah - Bandar
to Langalband (Dhaka - Chittagong Highway). It
is under consideration to build by G2G with
Malaysia.
Outer Ring Road
Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority (DTCA)
has taken steps to conduct a feasibility study
for the alignment.
