A new elevated highway stretch is being planned for Bangladesh. This route will run between Shah Amanat Airport in Chittagong and Lalkhan Bazar and is intended to cut congestion at peak periods.

The project to construct the 16.5km elevated highway is expected to cost US$403 million. The route was originally planned to be built by Ital-Thai, a joint venture between an Italian contractor and a firm from Thailand. However it will now be built by the Chittagong Development Authority (CDA) using the PPP model.
