Explore the Dhaka Bypass Expressway's strategic route, key locations, toll information, and traveler facilities
The Dhaka Bypass Expressway creates a strategic corridor around eastern Dhaka, connecting four major national highways (N1, N2, N3, N4). This expressway enables travelers to bypass Dhaka's congestion, cutting journey time by up to 75%.
The Dhaka Bypass Expressway is Bangladesh's first fully enclosed highway, serving as a major arterial route around Dhaka. It starts near Kodda (Gazipur) and terminates at Madanpur, where it meets the Dhaka-Chattogram Highway (N1).
This strategic corridor connects four major national highways (N1, N2, N3, N4), creating an uninterrupted pathway for vehicles to traverse from the north/northwest of Dhaka to the southeast without entering the capital's congested streets.
A 18 km section of the expressway (from Bhogra, Gazipur to Kanchan) was opened on a trial basis in late March 2025 to alleviate traffic for Eid-ul-Fitr travelers.
This section (K3+900 to K22+00) offered toll-free travel during the Eid period, benefiting over 2 million travelers.
The Dhaka Bypass Expressway connects several strategic locations, providing efficient access to major highways and urban centers:
Starting point in Gazipur District that links to National Highway N4 (Dhaka-Mymensingh/Tangail Highways) and N3 (Dhaka-Mymensingh).
First section opened for Eid 2025, where K3+900 marks the beginning of the partial toll collection point.
Interchange providing access to the upcoming Purbachal New Town, enhancing urban expansion.
Mid-route interchange that intersects with the Dhaka-Sylhet Highway (N2), connecting the expressway to eastern regions.
Endpoint in Narayanganj District that connects to National Highway N1 (toward Chattogram port) and links to N2 via nearby connections.
The Dhaka Bypass Expressway operates as a toll road to maintain high service standards and ensure sustainable operations.
