Hmm!!
new road from Sonargaon to Rampura!!
Interesting!! What's your personal opinion about this? How helpful will this be?

Dhaka city needs at least 5 trunk roads each in E-W and N-S direction. While there are 3 in the N-S direction, there is none on E-W. As a result all traffic have to travel along the N-S trunk roads for quite long wherever one likes to go causing jam for hours. One has also to bear in mind that train line passing through the centre of town stops movement of traffic more than 38 times or more in each crossing.
