A six-lane railway underpass in TT Para, Dhaka, has officially opened, marking a significant improvement in traffic flow for the area. The underpass, inaugurated on November 8 by retired Lieutenant General Abdul Hafiz, special assistant to the Chief Adviser on Defence and National Cohesion Development, will ease long-standing congestion problems. The underpass has six lanes in total: four for motorized vehicles and two for rickshaws, bicycles, and pedestrians. Vehicles up to five meters tall can pass comfortably, while trains now run above, allowing uninterrupted vehicle movement below. Previously, trains caused delays of up to an hour over just half a kilometer, forcing drivers to take longer alternative routes. The underpass will now improve connectivity for areas including Motijheel, Mugda, Manda, Maniknagar, and Shabujbagh, ending years of inconvenience for local commuters and enhancing the city’s overall traffic management.
