The Jatir Pita Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Highway (Bengali: জাতির পিতা বঙ্গবন্ধু শেখ মুজিবুর রহমান মহাসড়ক)[1][2]orDhaka–Bhanga Expressway is the first national expresswayinBangladesh. It is operated by the Road Transport and Highways Division. The express will be connected to Asian Highway 1.[3]
ECNEC approved the Dhaka-Mawa-Bhanga expressway construction under Dhaka-Khulna Highway Project[4] on 3 May 2016. The budget for the project was Tk 11,003.90 crore, later revised to Tk 6,892 crore. However, only half of the construction was done with this allocated money. With an additional Tk 4,111.86 crore the construction was completed. RHD and Bangladesh Army were involved in the construction of the expressway.[3]
On 19 August 2021, it was proposed that Korea Expressway Corporation should be given the task of toll management of the expressway. The proposal was made by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA).[5]
The six-lane expressway has two service lanes for local passengers, and 19 pedestrian underpasses for crossing. This expressway goes through five rivers via flyovers. The Padma Bridge is opened for public use, and people can use the bridge to enter the expressway.[6]
