Projects
identified to implement
during the Ist Phase of STP
may require US$2.0 billion
depending upon the design
under the on going study.
Pragmatic steps already
undertaken to implement a 32
km long Dhaka Elevated
Expressway and BRT in
several routes. Further, in
view of fast growing
transport demand and freight
traffic, the conceptual
design for the Dhaka–Chittagong
Access Controlled Expressway
has been prepared by the RHD
under the ADBfinanced Road
Maintenance and Improvement
Project. These projects will
be implemented on BOT/PPP
basis. In this connection,
new authorities with
appropriate legal framework
need to be made. As such,
global experience of BOT/PPP
model projects may be
replicated in the above
projects. DPs cooperation is
necessary in this regard.
