Eid travel has begun in full swing on the Dhaka-Tangail-Jamuna Bridge highway, with vehicle pressure increasing every hour. Despite the growing number of vehicles, no long queues or traffic jams have formed so far. Authorities have taken multiple measures to ensure smooth travel for homebound passengers. Over 800 police personnel are deployed along the highway, and officials believe the risk of accidents or vehicle breakdowns is minimal.
Tangail Superintendent of Police Mohammad Shamsul Alam Sarkar said vehicles would keep moving without interruption. District Commissioner Sharifa Haque, during her inspection, stated that army personnel are also assisting the police, while mobile and medical teams are active on the route. In the past 24 hours, more than 47,000 vehicles crossed the Jamuna Bridge, compared to over 35,600 the previous day. Normally, 12,000 to 15,000 vehicles cross daily, indicating a two- to threefold increase.
To ease congestion, the Jamuna Bridge site office has installed 18 toll booths, including separate motorcycle lanes, and arranged two wreckers for quick accident response.
