After nearly two decades of delay, Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) has officially opened the long-awaited 60-foot link road in Mirpur for public use. The inauguration ceremony, held in Mirpur, was attended by Faiz Ahmad Tayyeb, Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser, as chief guest, and DNCC Administrator Mohammad Ejaz as chair. The project aims to directly connect the 60-foot road to Mirpur’s main thoroughfare, significantly improving traffic flow.

DNCC officials explained that the project had been stalled for 17 years due to land disputes and inter-departmental coordination issues. Through joint efforts among government agencies, the road was completed within two months. Tayyeb emphasized the symbolic importance of the road, noting that coordinated work among service agencies can still make Dhaka a livable city. The DNCC cleared illegal structures and acquired postal department land to complete the connection.

Local residents expect the new link to reduce chronic congestion between Mirpur-10 and Mirpur-2. DNCC plans further infrastructure upgrades to address long-pending urban mobility challenges.
