Taposh: Kanchpur inter-district bus terminal construction to be completed by mid-2024

Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh on Wednesday said the construction of an inter-district bus terminal currently underway in Narayanganj’s Kanchpur will be complete by the middle of next year.

“Around 50% of the project, including landfilling, is already complete. The rest of the work will be completed within the stipulated time,” the DSCC mayor said while talking to reporters after visiting the construction site in the morning.

Mayor Taposh also said the construction of other infrastructures including the boundary and bus parking depot around the terminal will be done in phases.

“Once the terminal is opened, buses of 16 districts in Chittagong and Sylhet divisions will operate from this terminal,” he added.

The DSCC mayor hoped that the opening of the terminal would improve the quality of passenger services while reducing traffic congestion in the capital and its surrounding areas.

Meanwhile, the bus terminal at Sayedabad will be renovated and modernized and transformed into an inter-city bus terminal, said Taposh.

He also talked to officials of the departments concerned to learn about the progress of the terminal’s construction work.
