3 KM tailback at Dhaka-Ctg highway

A three-km long tailback was created on Dhaka-Chittagong Highway on Friday morning after a truck went out of order on the Meghna Bridge in Gazaria upazila, causing immense sufferings to the commuters.

In-charge of Bhaberchar Police Camp sub-inspector M Kamruzzaman said the goods-laden truck broke down on the bridge around 9am.

As a result, vehicular movement on both sides of the bridge remained halted for half an hour which created a long tailback, the OC added.

Later, the traffic started to return to normalcy after the truck was removed from the road around 9:30am.
