The first flyover in Chittagong city is going to be constructed with RubyCement. Bengal Development Corporation Ltd, a sister concern of Islam Group, is the construction contractor of the elevated road, says a press release.

The flyover project would be completed within stipulated time of 2009-2010 fiscal. The elevated way would highly facilitate the port users as well as the commuters with smoother traffic movement in the port and lessen the traffic congestion at Saltgola Crossing Road, port connecting road and other adjacent roads.
