Around 21,300 veh/day (source: Prefeasibility study by JICA in 2005)
The number of years to reach break-even point: 20 years (source: Prefeasibility study by JICA in 2005) But trust me, the Padma bridge will reach the break-even point way earlier. 25 years was expected for the Bangabandhu...

Yes, you are absolutely right! However, the subgrade soil condition is not uniform in our country. Which makes it difficult to come up with a uniform roadway structure. I am wondering why they are not considering the rigid pavement structure for such high profile projects. Yes, it looks...
Indian companies were known for sending their substandard engineers for some very important projects. As far as I can recall, an Indian company was appointed to do the steel structure of the Khancpur bridge. They messed up so badly that the Japanese structural engineers recommend the Oriental...
I couldn't agree more with you regarding this fact. During the pre-feasibility project of the East-West Elevated expressway (AKA Dhaka Middle ring road in the revised-STP), we have found a promising traffic generation forecast (~ 25,000 veh/day) on the new proposed corridor which was impressive...
