Cumilla to Dhaka | Now only in One and Half Hour

After a long waiting, the second Meghna Bridge and Meghna-Gomti (Daudkandi) Bridge has been opened for vehicular movement. The Economy lifeline of Bangladesh, Dhaka- Comilla- Chittagong national highway will now remain free of Traffic congestion due to the inauguration of these important bridges. Kanchpur Bridge has already inaugurated on March this year.

People of the Comilla zone already started getting the benefits of these three bridges while travelling on Dhaka- Cumilla- Chittagong highway. It takes around one and a half hour to go to Dhaka from Comilla on after the bridges inauguration. But before, sometimes it took 8 to 10 hours even more. If there were no congestion near the bridge, the passengers usually reached this distance in three to four hours.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today inaugurated the second Meghna Bridge and second Gomti Bridge on Dhaka- Cumilla- Chattagram National Highway (N1) on 25^th May 2019, Saturday morning. The Prime Minister inaugurated two of the bridges through video conferencing from the official residence Gonobhaban.

At the same time, the Prime Minister inaugurated the Baimail Bridge at Joydevpur- Chandra- Tangail- Elenga Highway under Sasek link road project, Konabari and Chandra flyover, Kaliakair- Deohata- Mirzapur- Gharinda underpass and Kodda-1 Bridge.

Road Transport and Traffic Minister Obaidul Quader gave welcome speech on the inauguration ceremony. Minister of Liberation War Affairs AKM Mozammel Haque and Agriculture Minister Abdur Razzak were present on the stage. Japan Ambassador Hiroasu Izumi in Bangladesh was present and spoke on the occasion.

Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister conducts the inauguration ceremony. Details of the road transport and highway department secretary presented video presentation. On 16^th March 2019, the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the second Kanchpur Bridge on the Shitalakshya River near Chittagong Road.

Japanese contracting firm Obayashi Corporation, Shimzhu Corporation, JFF Corporation and IHI Infra Systems Company Limited started the construction work of second Kanchpur Bridge in January 2016 together with the second Meghna and Gomati bridges.

The total cost of construction of these three bridges was 8 thousand 487 crores. Of these, Japan's JICA has provided Tk 6,330 crore. According to the agreement, Japanese companies started work in January 2016 and will complete in June 2019 but the project is completed before the scheduled time. Also they handed over BD Taka 700 crores to the Government which has saved.

Due to the terrorist attacks of Holi Artisan bakery in July 2016, the government has fixed the tenure of construction for six months till December 2019. The construction of the bridge was completed seven months before the scheduled time.

The second Meghna Bridge of 17.75 meter width and the cost of Taka 1,750 crore which is 930 meters long including 12 spans. The cost was Taka 1,950 crore for the Meghna-Gomti River which is 1,410 meters long with 17 spans and 17.75 meters wide. Construction of the two bridges ended in the 41st month for almost three and a half years.

For the convenience of public festivities, the overpass of the eastern part of the Kanchpur Bridge will be opened on May 31.

After the inauguration of these bridges the Highway is remaining free from traffic congestion. Passengers, Drivers are very happy. They can now go to Dhaka – Cumilla within a short time. Drivers of Royal Coach, Prince Transport, Asialine, Tisha, BRTC and other bus services said that now it will take only 1.5 to 2 hours to travel through this route.

Passengers of Cumilla region are really happy. In the last five or six year’s peoples have suffered a lot due to the traffic congestion in this national highway. Sometimes it took 15 hours to travel this 97 KM distance (Cumilla to Dhaka).

The below screenshot is after six hour of inauguration of the bridges from Google Map traffic. Indication shows no sign of traffic congestion on the three points: Kanchpur bridge, Meghna bridge and Daudkandi (Meghna-Gomati) bridge.

Dhaka to Comilla JAM FREE Alternate Route

The Dhaka - Cumilla - Chittagong highway (N1) has been recently upgraded to four lane but the gridlock / traffic jam on this National Highway sometimes become intolerable. Huge numbers of vehicles are using this economic corridor of the country and the number is increasing day by day.


Due to ongoing construction work of three bridges Kanchpur, Meghna and Gomti-Meghna, the traffic jam gets bigger especially on holidays or weekends. Hundreds of vehicles get stuck on the highway adding to people’s suffering. Journey through the existing railway between Cumilla to Dhaka takes around four hours. But the actual journey time between this route is only one to one and half hour (if stays free).

Anyway, in this post I am going to show you an alternate route from Dhaka to Cumilla, using this route you will be able to go from Dhaka – Cumilla – Dhaka without facing any type of gridlock or traffic jam. Personally I use this route sometimes to get rid of terrible gridlock on this highway. Just see the below screenshots taken from Google map.

• From Gulistan Dhaka to Chashara, Narayangonj by bus. From Gulistan bus stand buses are available such as Sheetal A/C, Bandhan, Utshob, Himachal, Moitri service etc.

• Chashara to Nabigonj Godara Ghat- Narayangonj by Rickshaw, or Tempo

• Cross the Shitalokkhya River by Trawler, Boat or Ferry to opposite side Nabigonj Ghat bus stop

• Nabigonj Ghat CNG station / Bus Stand to Mograpara Chourasta (Sonargaon) by CNG

• Cross the Highway through Foot Over Bridge at Mograpara Chourasta (Sonargaon), and from Bata show room (Mograpara Chourasta – East Side) to Boiddar Bazar Boat Terminal by CNG

• From Boiddar Bazar Boat Terminal to Chandanpur Launch Terminal by Speed Boat or Trawler

• From Chandanpur Bazar to Muktinagar / Manikarchar Bazar by Auto-Bike / CNG

• From Manikarchar Bazar to Mathabhabga Sinaya (Homna-Gouripur Road)

• From Sinaya to Gouripur Moor Bus Stand by CNG

• From Gouripur Bus Stand to Cumilla by Bus

If Jam continues from Daudkandi Gouripur to Cantonment then Another route from Mathabhabga Sinaya (Homna-Gouripur Road):

• From Sinaya to Homna Chourasta or Homna Hospital Road CNG Station by CNG

• From Homna to Companigonj Bus Stand (Comilla – Sylhet highway) by CNG

• From Companigonj Bus Stand to Cumilla by Bus

This route is local and always remains free from any kind traffic jam. I use this route when there any gridlock or jam in the Dhaka – Cumilla highway. Total fare is little more but the journey is adventures and interesting. It will be easier if you take help from the local people or Google map.

Thanks a lot.

Dhaka - Cumilla - Chattogram Controlled Access Expressway

The government has taken a new project to build a six - lane expressway to improve road communication between the Port City Chittagong with Capital City Dhaka. The length of the Expressway will be around 218 kilometers which will be constructed next to the present Dhaka – Comilla - Chittagong national highway (N1). To construct this expressway, it will be necessary to shift various roads, institutions, offices and houses etc.

The Dhaka - Chittagong Six Lane Control Access Expressway project is going to implement soon. Prime Minister of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina's new government is giving priority to complete this mega project to speed up road communication with Chittagong.

The acquisition of land, utility re-settlement work proposal (DPP) will be approve soon. In July, the PPP authorities will call for the Request for Quotation (RFQ) to pick an investor. Existing four lane highway has been developed to improve connectivity to the port city Chittagong with capital Dhaka. But due to the faulty design, two-lane bridges and heavy traffic pressure, peoples are not getting relief from gridlocks, even transporting goods. At present due to up gradation of three bridges on this highway, gridlock getting intolerable. Vehicle pressure is increasing every day.

The up gradation of Dhaka - Chittagong four-lane highway was done by thinking the reality of running 17,000 vehicles per day. According to the survey of the Roads and Highways Department, the current rate of carriage growth in this route is 8 to 10 percent. As such, more than 17,000 numbers of vehicles will drive within two or three years on this highway.

According to a study by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), vehicle pressure on this road by 2020 to 2030 will increase to 66,000 daily. Then there will be deadlock everyday in the existing four lanes road. That’s why the government is giving priority to build a controlled access expressway in this route. Some mega projects, port facilities, economic zones are going to establish soon in Chittagong. So this type of expressway must be implemented.

If the expressway is constructed, the commercial communication with Chittagong to other cities of the country will be much easier and faster. It will only take two to three hours to go from Dhaka to Chittagong.

The construction work of the project was supposed to be started during the previous government period. But due to the acquisition of land with administrative approval and project implementation authority it was not possible to start. Last year the project was sent to the Ministry of Planning for approval of its DPP after taking a land acquisition project along with moving various utility services, electricity, telephone lines and houses. After completion, this will be the South Asia's largest expressway.

Before the project is approved, the district administration, forest department and environmental clearance are need. This project will be implemented through five districts and already NOC from four districts has been given except Chittagong. Apart from this, obtaining forest and environmental NOC is also under process. Soon these clearances will be sent with DPP to the Planning Ministry for land acquisition and utility re-settlement.

As well as beside approval of the land acquisition, the process of finding an investor for the main work of expressway is in progress. Earlier Asian Development Bank was interested in funding the project. But ADB has withdrawn from the loan process last year.

Later Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina took the responsibility of implementing the project. The support to Dhaka-Chittagong Expressway project was sent to the PPP to carry out various tasks including the appointment of independent engineers for the assistance and supervision of the investors etc. And the PPP will call the RFQ to find interested investors for this mega project. A shortlist will be made after the verification of the offer of interested investors. From there, the final investor will be selected.

The feasibility study of the project was done once in 2004. But now the implementation of the project is not possible to complete based on that old feasibility study. For this reason, RFQ will be called after updating feasibility verification. This will be happen possible by July this year.

The length of the Control Access Expressway will be 217 kilometers and from this, 19 kilometer will be fully elevated. There will be a service road, seven interchanges, three service stations, 64 overpasses, 44 vehicle underpasses, four medium size bridges and 28 small bridges under the project. Earlier, the potential cost of the proposed project was estimated to 28,000 crore BD Taka. Of this, only the expenditure on land acquisition was estimated to be BD Taka 10,588 crores.

The project's duration was fixed from January 2018 to December 2022. Feasibility study will be revised and project construction cost will also be revised. The potential cost of the proposed expressway may be estimated to BD Taka 37,000 Crore. The cost of utility re-settlement with land acquisition may be BDT 17,000 Crore. The project-related people said that the cost of land acquisition will be more than previous. As a result, the DPP is finalizing based on the cost of land acquisition which may be around BD Taka 17,000 crore.

The project will be implemented in three packages. The first package will be from Kanchpur to Cumilla, 2nd package from Cumilla to Feni and the third package will be from Feni to Chattogram. This will be a fully control access expressway. The main road will be of four lanes, the remaining two sides will be use as service road, total six lanes. The local slow-speed vehicles and three wheelers will be able to use the service road. And with the control access roads of four lanes vehicles will be able to move at a minimum 100 kilometers speed per hour.

Vehicles will need to pay toll for using this expressway. On this route, vehicles will be able to go up and down in seven places. These places are: Madanpur of Narayanganj, Daudkandi of Cumilla, Mainamati and Paduar Bazar of Cumilla, Feni, Baroirhat and Salimpur of Chittagong. A control access expressway means that slow vehicles can’t enter. If the expressway is implemented in order to facilitate traffic movement without any traffic jam, then the dreams of Dhaka and Chittagong can be realized in two to two and a half hours.

Thanks.
