Kalshi Flyover

The Kalshi Flyover, also knowned as the Harun Mollah Flyover, is a significant infrastructure development in Dhaka, inaugurated on February 19, 2023. This 2.34 km long flyover aims to enhance connectivity between various parts of the city, including Mirpur, DOHS, Pallabi, Kalshi, ECB Chattar, Mahakhali, Banani, Uttara, and Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.​

Design and Structure: The flyover features a 'Y' shape, with a main four-lane bridge running from ECB Chattar towards Kalshi and Mirpur DOHS, and a two-lane ramp descending from Kalshi intersection to Kalshi Road.​

Road Expansion: The project also involved widening the previously four-lane road from ECB Square to Kalshi to six lanes, facilitating smoother traffic flow.​

Additional Infrastructure: The development includes two foot over-bridges with escalators, a public toilet, two police boxes, a 7.4 km RCC drain and saucer drain, a 1,755-meter RCC pipe drain, retaining walls, a 3,383-meter communication duct, 800,000 linear meters of sand compaction piles, separate bicycle lanes, and six bus bays .​

Impact on Commuters: The Kalshi Flyover has significantly reduced travel time in the area. For instance, the commute from Mirpur DOHS to ECB Square now takes under two minutes, a substantial improvement from the previous 20-minute duration during peak hours.​

Project Implementation: The flyover and road expansion were implemented by the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) and the Bangladesh Army (24 Engineer Construction Brigade) at a cost of approximately Tk 1,012 crore. The project commenced in January 2018 and was completed ahead of schedule in June 2023.

Kalshi Flyover represents a significant advancement in Dhaka's infrastructure, aiming to alleviate traffic congestion and improve the daily commute for thousands of residents.
