π Tender Overview
Source of Funding / Amount: Loan: south asia subregional economic cooperation chattogram port access road improvement project
Ordinary capital resources: US$ 150.00 million
The project will improve the chattogram port access road, an 11. 5-kilometer road linking dhaka-chattogram highway n1 and the chattogram port, by increasing lanes and adding a service road.

Rail, road, air, and port logistics modes converge at chattogram.
