Background edit
The length of the main road is 5 km. It extends from the central bus terminal to Hashemiya Madrasa.[1] This road was previously under the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority. Later it was handed over to the Cox's Bazar Development Authority (CDA) which is now responsible for its maintenance.[2]
Expansion edit
In 2019, a project proposed by CDA to convert the road to four lanes was finalised by the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council. The budget for the widening of the road was fixed at around ৳294.15 crore.[3] On 18 October 2020, the renovation and widening of the highway began.[1] The deadline for the project was set at 2023, but the authorities wanted to complete it by 2022.[4]
