National Highway N1 and National Highway N2 connects Dhaka to two very important cities, Chittagong & Sylhet. Moreover, traffic from these highways enters Dhaka around the same corridor. This creates significant congestion in the south of Dhaka for vehicles entering Dhaka using Highway N1 & N2 and heading towards the northern part of Dhaka. Therefore, RHD is proposing a new high-quality gateway of Dhaka through the development of 13 km 4-lane access controlled tolled expressway from Chittagong Road to Hatirjheel, with a trunk road from Tarabo connecting the expressway at Demra.

The proposed road starts at Chittagong Road of National Highway N1 and will cross Jatrabari-Sultana Kamal Bridge Road (R210) and ends at Hatirjheel near Rampura Bridge Road. Chittagong Road- Demra-Amulia-Shekherjaiga-Hatirjheel (Rampura Bridge) is 13 km in length and is expected to establish a strong connectivity among the capital city Dhaka to Chittagong, Sylhet, Narayangonj and other eastern districts of Bangladesh.
