The ADB-assisted Joydevpur-Elenga-Hatkumrul-Rangpur-Burimari-Banglabandha road is connecting the Chattogram port in the East, with Bhutan, India, and Nepal in the North of Bangladesh to promote regional cooperation and trade. The road is expanding productive space beyond Dhaka and Chattogram, the two main cities of Bangladesh that generate over 60% of the country’s gross domestic product. The high-quality road is improving transport efficiency and reducing carbon-dioxide emission, which is a key priority of the country for tackling climate change.
