Dhaka–Baizid Bostami Link & AUW Loop Road Project
Chittagong, the port city of Bangladesh, is the 2nd largest city of the country with an estimated population of over 4 million which is increasing every year. Since the independence in 1971, there has been all-round development in all spheres of the city. To cope with the rapid development and expansion of the city, the Govt. of Bangladesh has created the Chittagong Development Authority as an autonomous body for the planned development of the city and its neighborhood. The CDA has already drawn up Chittagong Metropolitan Master Plan for the development of the whole city. But due to accelerated development in all sectors, the traffic and transportation system of the city is squeezing day by day for its rapid urbanization and commercial activities. Chittagong being a port city is facing tremendous pressure on its communication system as foreign and domestic freights; both are transported through this port as well as the Central Business District. Chittagong now requires defined network of primary (or arterial) and distributary roads. The primary network is particularly important which reflects the routes which will cater to the needs of the most important longer distance traffic movements. The strategic highways network identifies the major traffic routes, including links that carry significant number of large trucks and those linking major industrial and commercial development and centres of population. With a view of establishing an efficient road network in Chittagong city a metropolitan Master Plan was prepared by UNDP under project BGD/88/052. In the project a link road from Dhaka Trunk Road to Baizid Bostami road has been proposed.

Rajapara–Payra Port 4-Lane Road Project
Narrative Description of Project: Bangladesh’s external trade is growing on average at 9.2 percent per annum and by 2020th country’s total annual sea borne trade will be in the range of 75 to 80 million tones and 2.75 million twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) containers. These volumes are beyond the capacity of Bangladesh’s existing sea ports at Chittagong and Mongla. In particular, Chittagong presently handles around 92 percent of cargo and by 2020 it will have reached full operating capacity. Even a possible expansion of these two ports will not be sufficient to handle forecasted increases in trade volumes, and over the next decade this shortfall could reach around 50 percent of the country’s capacity needs. Given these constraints, the Government of Bangladesh has determined that the Rabnabad Channel at Kalapara Upazila in Patuakhali District is a naturally suitable place for constructing a seaport. This site has been subsequently named Payra Port. Payra Port is located on the West bank of the Rabnabad Channel, approximately 5 nautical miles upstream from harbour mouth. There are no restrictions regarding length and beam and the site with its outer anchorage can potentially cater to vessels with 14.5 metre draught. Considering the handling of future trade volume and export/import growth, Govt. of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh decided to build a new sea port and an Act was passed on National Parliament on 05 Nov 2013. Honorable Prime Minister inaugurated 3rd sea port at Lalua Union, Kalapara Upazila of Patuakhali district on 19 Nov 2013.
