Seven flyovers of the Bus Rapid Transit- BRT project have been opened to traffic with the aim of lowering traffic gridlock on the Dhaka-Gazipur route before Eid-ul-Fitr.

The seven flyovers are Airport Flyover Left Side, Airport Flyover Right Side, Jasimuddin Flyover, U-Turn-1 Gazipur Flyover, U-Turn-2 Open University Flyover, Gazipur Bhogra Flyover and Gazipur Chowrasta Flyover.
Obaidul Quader, although it has been open to traffic, completion of the 20.5km project will take time up to June this year.
