The Dhaka Elevated Expressway (Bengali: ঢাকা উড়াল মহাসড়ক) is an all-elevated toll road in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka. The 19.73-kilometre (12.26 mi) road, regarded as the country's first elevated expressway, partially opened in 2023. It connects Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport with Farmgate area in Tejgaon, with construction ongoing to connect it with the Dhaka–Chittagong Highway. Its construction aims to enhance traffic capacity within and around Dhaka city by improving connectivity between the northern part of the city and the central, southern, and south-eastern parts.[1]
