The link road on the Chilmarir side of the Maulana Bhasani Bridge in Kurigram has developed around 100 small and large holes, making it nearly unusable for traffic. Despite several extensions of the project deadline, the road improvement work remains incomplete. The project, worth Tk 10.33 crore, began in February 2024 and was supposed to be completed by February 2025. However, only about 70 percent of the work has been finished so far. Local residents and transport workers have expressed deep frustration over the poor condition of the road.
The contractor, Rashedul Islam from Roumari, obtained the work using the license of Mir Habibul Alam from Natore. The 5.23-kilometer road from Matikata Mor to Paachpir GC Road has been progressing slowly, with rain and delays worsening the situation. Large pits and soil collapses have made the route dangerous even for pedestrians. Attempts to contact the contractor were unsuccessful, while the Upazila Engineer, Zulfiqar Ali, confirmed that the project deadline had been extended and that the contractor had been instructed to complete the work quickly.
The damaged road has disrupted daily travel and transport in the area, increasing risks for vehicles and commuters until repairs are completed.
