Talaimary crossing-Katakhali Bazar road turns four lane

Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) has taken an initiative to turn the double lane Talaimary crossing-Katakhali Bazar road into four-lane.

The 4.1-kilometre road will be widened to 30-metre on an average from the existing 10 metres along with a two-metre-wide road divider at a cost of around Tk 93.49 crore.

There will be 10.5-metre-wide roads and also three-metre-wide roads for the non-mechanised and slow-moving vehicles on the both sides of the divider.

A three-metre-wide footpath with drain under it will be constructed on both sides of the road.

City Mayor AHM Khairuzzaman Liton inaugurated the construction work after unveiling the foundation stone on Wednesday. Decorative and ornamental trees and plants will be transplanted on the divider and on the both sides of the road for beautification.
