Project Detail |
OBJECTIVE To provide efficient, safe, and resilient connectivity along a section of a regional transport corridor in Western Bangladesh. DESCRIPTION The Project will upgrade a 57.2 km section of existing two-lane road from Bonpara to Jhenaida to four lanes, add slow-moving vehicle traffic lanes on both sides of the main carriageway, and provide optical fiber cable (OFC) to expand the country’s broadband connectivity and enable “smart highways” along the project alignment. The loan will finance road construction, OFC, consulting services, training and capacity building, equipment purchase, and ITS systems. |
