A major project in Bangladesh now looks to be delayed following financing issues. The project to construct the Dhaka Elevated Expressway was to have been carried out by the contractor, Italian-Thai Development (ITD). However the contractor was unable to secure all the financing required for the work, which had an estimated price tag of around US$990 million. The Bangladesh Bridge Authority (BBA) is now considering its options for the project while all the legal implications have also to be evaluated. Some site development work and piling has already been carried out.
