Workers instal steel-made stairs being added to the Mogbazar-Mouchak Flyover in the capital on Friday to facilitate supervision by law-enforcers. It is beyond the design of the infrastructure. — FE Photo by KAZ Sumon The government has taken a move to add stairs to the Moghbazar-Mouchak-Malibagh flyover to help traffic police monitor vehicular movement, officials said.
The Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) has taken the move for installing the stairs.
Iron-made angles are now being installed as part of the stairs near the Malibagh intersection to help the traffic police climb up the flyover for monitoring traffic, a high official of the department concerned told the FE.
"There will be a roof over the upper part of the stairs where a small police box will be set up for monitoring traffic by police," he said.
Only traffic police will use the stairs for monitoring traffic signal, he added.
He further said the government has decided to add the stairs to the flyover as per request of the traffic department.
Toma Construction Ltd is doing the job.
The earthquake-resistant Moghbazar-Mouchak-Malibagh flyover, the second largest in the country, opened to traffic on October 26 last.
Earlier, stairs were added to the Mayor Mohammad Hanif Flyover, but the authority concerned later removed them following an order from the country's higher court.
