A 14-km tailback has formed on the Dhaka-Tangail-Bangabandhu Bridge highway due to a road accident and an excess of vehicles, reports bdnews24.com.
The snarl-up stretched from the east side of the bridge to Elenga in Tangail’s Kalihati Upazila, said Zahid Hasan, chief of Elenga Highway Police Station.
A pick-up van overturned at the Kamakhya intersection of the highway around 1 am on Saturday, said officer Zahid. It took about an hour to clear the road. Traffic was completely halted during this time, he said.
