PM opens part of Moghbazar-Mouchak flyover

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has inaugurated a portion of the Moghbazar-Mouchak flyover in Dhaka.

The flyover was expected to be completed by July 2014; it is now scheduled to be ready by December 2016.

The under-construction flyover is being built in three parts.

One part is the 2.11 kilometre stretch from Satrasta to Ramna police station. The second part, which runs from Eskaton to Mouchak, is 86% complete.

The third part from Rampura to Shantinagar, via Malibagh and Rajarbagh police lines, is only 47% complete.
