The Dhaka–Chattogram Highway is undergoing a major technology-driven transformation aimed at improving road safety, strengthening traffic discipline and reducing congestion.

Highway Police have installed 1,427 AI-enabled cameras across nearly 250 kilometres, from Signboard in Narayanganj to Chattogram City Gate. The system automatically detects violations such as speeding, wrong-way driving and illegal parking, with offence details sent to vehicle owners via SMS. Fines can be paid through designated mobile financial services.

The impact was visible soon after the system went live: 449 traffic cases were filed and Tk 15.51 lakh in fines imposed within the first 24 hours, with speeding accounting for most of the cases.

Authorities are also examining longer-term infrastructure upgrades for the busy corridor, including widening and improved grade-separated infrastructure, while further plans for an elevated expressway have been discussed as part of efforts to improve the highway's capacity and connectivity.

Water Resources Minister Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Anee has said Prime Minister Tarique Rahman is expected to inaugurate the construction of the Padma Barrage in Rajbari between January and March 2027.

The Padma Barrage (1st Phase) has been approved by ECNEC with an estimated cost of Tk 34,497.25 crore, with the entire project to be financed from the government’s own resources. The Bangladesh Water Development Board will implement the project from July 2026 to June 2033.
