Bangladeshi are struggling to move.

The DTCA says plans for the interstate were excluded in the Revised Strategic Action Plan for Dhaka endorsed by the Cabinet in 2017

The development of an overhead interstate and an underground metro line along a similar extend of Mirpur Road in Dhaka has been expelled as "outlandish" by specialists, who are asking the experts to rethink their clashing plans.

The proposed third line (MRT-5) of the Dhaka Metro Rail task will interface the eastern and western parts of the city from Bhatara to Aminbazar by means of the local locations of Gulshan-Banani, bending towards Hatirjheel through Mirpur Road.

In the meantime, the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) is intending to manufacture a raised turnpike over Mirpur Road under an open private association (PPP) program.

Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority (DTCA) authorities said the development of a turnpike venture was excluded in the Revised Strategic Transport Plan (RSTP) go by the Cabinet a year ago.

Specialists concur that enhancing the current street transport framework is significantly more favorable than building flyovers or turnpikes above existing streets. Numerous vibe that as opposed to forestalling car influxes, flyovers are really adding to the activity blockage.

"Obviously flyovers are not the answer for decrease roads turned parking lots, as more often than not, vehicles stay stuck on upward and descending inclines of the flyovers," Prof Shamsul Haq, of the Civil Engineering division of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), said.

"Then again, the metro rail will have the capacity to convey a considerably higher number of travelers than transports or other private vehicles."

Costs 'restrictive'

Work is now in progress on the primary metro rail line, from the Uttara local location in the north of Dhaka to the city's business focus in Motijheel.

At the point when that is finished in 2020, the DTCA is because of start the development of MRT line-5.

Prof Sarwar Jahan, of the Urban and Regional Planning division at BUET, said the expenses of likewise constructing a road along a significant part of a similar course would end up being restrictive.

In spite of the fact that it is in fact conceivable to manufacture a metro rail and turnpike in a comparative arrangement, it isn't conceivable to do it in Dhaka, as it would be to a great degree costly," he said.

Under the proposed design, the 10.5km-long interstate will be built over the Mirpur Road passageway under a PPP activity of the head administrator's office.

Fund will be given by Maisha Group Ltd, of which Awami League pioneer Aslamul Haque Aslam is administrator.

Attainability think about

Authoritatively known as the incorporated hoisted Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), the turnpike has been outlined as a six-path flyover with two committed transport paths and four express toll paths.

It will have eight BRT stations and walker hybrids at Gabtoli, Technical, Shyamoli, Manik Mia Avenue, Russell Square, Science Laboratory, New Market, Azimpur and Palashi regions. It will likewise have 15 off-ramps at various focuses.

Be that as it may, when authorities of the Maisha bunch displayed a BRT narrative to the executive, various protests were raised with respect to the wellbeing of her official living arrangement at Gono Bhaban, and the absence of elective transport on the Mirpur Road passage.

The PM guided authorities to lead an achievability study and move the venture to Satmasjid Road.

Saleh Uddin, a specialist to Maisha Group and a previous official chief of DTCA, told the Dhaka Tribune that the consequences of the achievability contemplate demonstrate it is difficult to fabricate a flyover on Satmasjid Road.

"The flyover will be founded on the current middle of Mirpur Road," he said. "In spite of the fact that it isn't recorded in the Revised Strategic Transport Plan (RSTP), when it gets amended once more, the arrangement for the turnpike will be incorporated."

Disturbance

The occupants of Dhanmondi, Kalabagan, and other nearby zones are additionally worried that the turnpike development work will make significant challenges for them.

As indicated by Prof Shamsul, the occupants of Dhanmondi would endure the most. "The development of a six-path flyover would take almost two paths to construct the columns, which would bring about colossal movement blockage in neighboring regions," he said.

"We perceived how streets were blocked and activity upset amid the development of the Moghbazar-Mouchak flyover. Is it extremely practical to construct a flyover and a metrorail in the meantime?

"A political gathering is attempting to exploit the turnpike venture, in spite of the fact that we as a whole know flyovers were never the ideal answer for diminish activity blockage in Dhaka."

Saleh Uddin dissented, saying a six-path flyover can be based on a solitary path on the ground.

"There will be a lot of room to manufacture the underground metro rail," he said. "The flyover will proceed for 20 to 30 meters underground, and the flyover columns will have a profundity of not in excess of 10 meters."

Prof Sarwar Jahan said a flyover must be worked over the ground and the metrorail underground if the specialists apply the most recent innovation, including the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) strategy.

"Indeed, even in cutting edge nations, (this) is an exceedingly costly technique," Sarwar said. "Because of restricted propelled innovation and administrators in Dhaka, it may very well be outlandish."
