Traffic congestion grips Dhaka-Tangail highway

News Desk  :
A 14-km tailback has formed on the Dhaka-Tangail-Bangabandhu Bridge highway due to a road accident and an excess of vehicles.

The snarl-up stretched from the east side of the bridge to Elenga in Tangail’s Kalihati Upazila, said Zahid Hasan, chief of Elenga Highway Police Station, reports bdnews24.com.

A pick-up van overturned at the Kamakhya intersection of the highway around 1 am on Saturday, said officer Zahid. It took about an hour to clear the road. Traffic was completely halted during this time, he said.

“We are performing our duties. Things will return to normal soon.”
