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.
