29 April 2021
Mr. Obaidul Quader, Road Transport and Bridges Minister, Bangladesh, is pushing to begin work to upgrade the Chittagong-Cox's Bazar Highway. Mr. Qader was speaking at the virtual meeting of officials for the Chittagong Road Zone, Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC), and the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) on 8 March 2021.
The road, one of the busiest in Bangladesh, will be widened to four-lanes to ease traffic along the route and improve subregional connectivity. Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced in May 2017 that Bangladesh will be undertaking development of the Cox’s Bazar-Chittagong Highway.
