People have started returning to their villages leaving the capital to share Eid joy with their relatives. As a result, the pressure of vehicles on the Padma Bridge through Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Expressway has increased. There is a tailback of vehicles for about 8 kilometers from Padma Bridge toll plaza to Bangabandhu Expressway.
Traffic pressure increased (14 june) from Friday morning, the bridge authority said.
Meanwhile, vehicles have to wait for some time at the toll plaza of Padma Bridge to receive toll due to increased traffic pressure than usual. Due to this, there is slow movement of vehicles in the bridge area.
Mawa Traffic Inspector Ziaul Haider told the media that the jam is 8 kilometers from the toll plaza to about Chanbari. Since early morning, there has been a backlog of trucks on the highway due to the slow movement of so many cars and Padma Bridge weighing machine operators.
