Kushtia City Bypass Road (Bengali: কুষ্টিয়া শহর বাইপাস সড়ক) or N713 (Bangladesh) is a national highway and bypass road located next to Kushtia city.[2] Construction of the road began in 2016 and was inaugurated in 2018.[3]
Background
The process of construction of this bypass road started in 2005 but got stopped due to bureaucratic and land acquisition complications. In the 2007-2008 fiscal year, work resumed and stopped again. Later in 2016, the construction of the road started from January 28. 6.6 km long, 7.3 meter wide two-lane road has been constructed at a total cost of Tk 120 crore. A PC girder bridge, an underpass and 21 culverts have been constructed on this road.[4] The then Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina inaugurated this road on November 31, 2018.[3]
