Country’s first expressway opens Thursday

[greenhawk]

Seriously we hear so much good things about bangaldeshi economy.
But is this your first expressway?
And that too I mean we have these type in 80s. If you see pakistan's motorways and now throughout country. You would die of awe.
Atleast make international standards project with the money bangaldesh makes.
We near no remarkable projects infrastructure from Bangaldesh. Surely now they can do huge infrastructure spending.


Pakistan has already done that with 6 lane motorways and 4 Lane expressways in remort part. With international standard motorways not bangaldeshi standards.
But your economy is so good. We in Pakistan give your examples when talking about economy. Why don't you I mean go beyond that.

Bangladesh is divided by thousands of large and small rivers and has more unstable land. There are more logistical issues to deal with when it comes to developing transportation in Bangladesh than in Pakistan.

Yes, that was the pilot project funded by world bank.

I think BD should use this system of separate roads in all the long-distance transportation. It will lessen accidents and reduce long tail on highways. Note that all the roads have enough space on the two sides only these are now canals because soil was excavated to raise the road level.

Now, the country has enough dredging equipment and dump trucks to move soil from the river islands and fill in the canals to make room for small roads as well as to widen the main roads to 4-lane ones.

Why there are so many waves in the bridge?

Mom (she’s from that region) says apparently there are channels for water transport/ roads to go underneath ... maybe that?

Or maybe you cant built good roads like we do?

All future road widening to 4 lanes will have a separate service lane on each side.
This was the lesson learned from the Dhaka-Chittagong road widening to 4 lanes from 2.

yet some people will claim glass is full with most expensive Vodka not the tap water

Speaking of vodka, there’s nothing such as the most expensive vodka... it’s the cheapest among spirits and I’m a budding spirit Connoisseur and so I know.

This is why you may see waves and/or curves on a freeway. All comes down to the original landscapes you are dealing with.

@fitpOsitive also could be this.

As seen, some portions of the expressway is open, and some are being completed, including the Bhanga interchange. Sabr is a great virtue.

Those criticizing the speed of construction, this is an image of the same interchange last year.

Damn the highway next to my area in Kuwait is like this. That’s cool

they should make inner lane high speed lane and outer lane speed limited lane

Or maybe you cant built good roads like we do?

I mean let’s be honest, 5 yo aren’t building these... contracts are given and engineers design them to suit the geography... we don’t have to defend our architects and engineers against yours... we have plenty world renowned ourselves

If you have design related questions about this expressway, please ask nearby someone who has studied civil engineering. They can explain you better but you also need some basic understanding of physics.
