GAZIPUR, July 7: Minister of Road Transport and Bridges Obaidul Qauder said, the four-lane development project of Joydebpur-Elenga on Dhaka -Tangail highway will start in September next.

The minister said, the road condition is better than anytime of the past year. He said, we have to repair the roads throughout the year.

He said, the elevated expressway on Nabinagar-Baipal-Uttara will be constructed as it is not possible to develop this highway to four lane because of land requisition problems, houses besides highway, Mosque and Madrasa and different structures.

He said, "We have already received the confirmation about foreign funds for the project".
