Akhtaruzzaman Flyover

The Chittagong Development Authority (CDA) built the country’s longest flyover in the port city at a cost of some Tk. 3,500 crore. The 23-km-long flyover will connect Muradpur to Shah Amanat International Airport, CDA officials said. The on-going construction of 5.2-km-long Akhtaruzzaman Flyover, from Muradpur to Lalkhan Bazar, will be extended to the airport, officials said. The project will be funded by the government, CDA and Chittagong Port Authority (CPA), they added.
The work on the Akhtaruzzaman Flyover was inaugurated by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on November 12, 2014. Max-Rankin JV was contracted to construct the flyover with entry and exit ramp facilities at a cost of Tk. 454.67 crore.
During the inaugural programme, the PM had declared that the flyover from Muradpur to Lalkhan would be connected to Shah Amanat International Airport, said CDA chairman Abdus Salam.
The port authorities, however, said inadequate funds could pose a problem in giving the loan to CDA.
