Commuters who need to go towards Mohakhali using Airport road from Airport Station have been asked to avoid the road from 8pm on Thursday to 12am on Saturday night for ongoing road development work of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.

BRT has issued special traffic guidelines in this regard due to its ongoing road development works of the BRT project aimed at permanently smoothing the traffic flow.

A notification signed by A S M Elias Shah, project director of the BRT, said that the road development work will continue in two lanes out of four lanes towards Mohakhali from in front of the Airport railway station.

It said there is possibility of creating severe traffic jams on the road during work.

People have been requested not to use the road section except for essential travel during the time mentioned in the notification. Everyone's sympathy and cooperation have also been sought in this regard.

BRT is an improved modern bus transit system providing rapid, affordable and comfortable commuting, which operates in dedicated lanes to provide better passenger services.
