The Government of Bangladesh is also upgrading the Elenga-Hatikumrul highway to include four lanes with service lanes on both sides, as part of the country’s Revised Strategic Transport Plan (2015-2035) to develop a planned and coordinated modern public transport system in and around Dhaka. 

Three highways in Bangladesh are also set to be upgraded into four-lane highways in the current fiscal year to improve the national transport system. These are the Dhaka-Sylhet, Rangpur-Burimari, and Sylhet-Tamabil highways.
