Ahead of the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha 2026, the Bangladesh Bridge Authority has implemented special traffic management and infrastructure improvements on the Elenga to Jamuna Bridge East Circle section under the SASEC Road Connectivity Project-2. The measures aim to ensure safe, smooth, and congestion-free travel for homebound passengers. The highway now effectively operates with four lanes by combining two newly built service lanes with the existing two main lanes, allowing vehicles to move without artificial congestion.
Bridge Division Secretary and Executive Director Mohammad Abdur Rouf stated that this section had previously been a major challenge for northern-bound travelers during Eid seasons. This year, coordinated improvements, including lane expansion, bus bays, and drainage systems, have been completed to prevent traffic jams. Reflective markers, concrete dividers, and round-the-clock monitoring teams have been deployed to enhance safety and traffic discipline.
Additional measures include trained toll collectors, nonstop ETC lanes, surveillance cameras, and emergency response teams at both Jamuna and Padma Bridge areas. Authorities expect that these initiatives will eliminate traffic bottlenecks and ensure uninterrupted vehicle movement during the Eid travel rush.
