The Dhaka Bus Rapid Transit Company Limited authorities have requested commuters in the capital to avoid the route from Khilkhet to Uttara via airport from Thursday (24 November) 6.00pm to Sunday ( 27 November) 6.00am, reports UNB.

The move comes as traffic situation on the Dhaka Airport-Uttara route is expected to worsen due to development work of the BRT project.

Special road development work for the BRT project will be conducted in the Dhaka airport area during 24 and 27 November, said a special traffic advisory signed by ASM Ilias Shah, project director of BRT.

Under the circumstances, all public and private vehicles have been advised to use alternative routes during this period.
