Project Name: Construction of Dhaka East West Elevated Expressway
Sector: Transport
Location: Dhaka
Area: Baliarpur – Bhakurta – Bhawal – Sakta – Baghair – Kundar char – Dapa – Pilkuni - Jalkuri – Goadnail - Lakshman Khola – Langolbandh.
Background:

The Dhaka East West Elevated Expressway Project (DEWEEP) is proposed as a 39.0 (approx.) km elevated expressway to allow traffic to travel around the western perimeter of Dhaka between Highway N5 (the Dhaka Aricha Highway) and Highway N1 (the Dhaka Chittagong Highway) with connections to Highway N8 (the Dhaka Mawa Highway which links directly to the Padma Bridge and to Narayanganj via Road R111 (the Dhaka Narayanganj Road). By making these connections between these major highways and thus the north, south and west of the country the expressway will have some effect on removing through traffic from Dhaka and thereby reducing traffic congestion in the capital.

 

The expressway is consistent with the strategic road network planning of both the Dhaka Structure Plan (2016 -2035) and the Asian Highway Network. The expressway will form an important part of AH1 and thus will be vital for establishing an improved transport link on the Trans-Asian highways.

 

An integral part of the project is its connection to the upgraded Highway N8 (Dhaka Mawa Highway) and hence the Padma Bridge. That connection will allow traffic to travel across the Padma River and south to Chittagong as well as northward to Joydebpur and Tangail on the outskirts of Dhaka and onwards to the northern districts such as Mymensingh.

 

The Dhaka East West Elevated Expressway (DEWEE) which implements the proposed Middle/Outer Ring Road will be 39.23 kilometre long signal-free expressway with a design speed of 80 km/hr, a four-lane carriageway and having two pairs of entry /exit ramps in addition to the entry/exit ramps at the northern end at Hemayetpur and at the southern connection to the Dhaka – Chittagong Highway N1 at Langolbandh. Its route alignment is from Baliarpur (N5 on Dhaka – Aricha Highway) – Baliarpur – Bhakurta – Bhawal – Sakta – Baghair – Kundar char – Dapa – Pilkuni - Jalkuri – Goadnail - Lakshman Khola – Langolbandh (on Dhaka – Chittagong Highway N1). In addition, there will be two pair ramp interchange at Bhawal on Kalatia – Atibazar.

 

The DEWEEP is envisaged to be a tolled expressway suitable for use by motorized traffic such as trucks, buses and cars. Motorcycles will be able to use the expressway as their performance characteristics are compatible with heavier, faster vehicles. For reasons of safety and expressway capacity, CNGs and non-motorized traffic should not be permitted on the expressway.
