The four-lane Elevated Expressway will commence at Shahjalal International Airport and run alongside New Airport Road, with the rail alignment through the Mohakhali, Tejgaon, and Moghbazar to Kamalapur Railway station and then the alignment crossing over Jatrabari before connecting to Dhaka Chittagong Highway.
Link: Palashi-Katabon-Hatirpul-Hotel Sonargaon (backside) - Moghbazar Rail Crossing.
