A severe traffic jam stretching about 13 kilometers formed on the Dhaka-Chattogram highway’s Gazaria section in Munshiganj early Friday. The congestion began after multiple covered vans collided on the Comilla-bound lane near the Meghna-Gomti Bridge slope, blocking the road completely. As a result, hundreds of vehicles remained stuck for hours, leaving passengers and drivers in extreme distress under the scorching heat.
According to highway police and local sources, the accident caused the vehicles to block the entire lane, halting traffic movement. On-site observations showed women, children, and elderly passengers suffering inside buses for hours. Drivers reported being stuck for more than two hours on routes that normally take only minutes to cross.
Gazaria Highway Police outpost in-charge Md. Shah Kamal Akand said the damaged vehicles were quickly removed from the road, but heavy weekend traffic was delaying full recovery. He expressed hope that normal traffic flow would resume soon.
