The installation of the viaduct from the Uttara to
Motijheel section of the Dhaka metro rail project has been completed.
The completion came through connecting Piers No
582 and 583 in front of the National Press Club on Thursday.
The overall progress of the project stands at
74%, M.A.N Siddique, managing director of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Ltd, told
a virtual media call.
Mentioning that the pandemic poses a challenge
to the project work, he said a proposal has been made to increase the spending
in the project by Tk 8,000 crore.
“Land acquisition is underway from Motijheel to
Kamalapur. Spending has shot up due to the cost increase in land acquisition,”
he said.
High-definition CCTV cameras with face
detection technology will be installed in the project area, he said, adding
that arrangements will be made for people with special needs.
The Dhaka metro rail is expected to carry
60,000 passengers per hour by travelling a 21.26km route from Uttara to
Motijheel-Kamalapur Railway Station in less than 40 minutes.
