The Akhtaruzzaman flyover is the largest highway overpass in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Its foundation stone was laid in 2013 by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina; construction officially began in 2014.[citation needed][2][3]
The flyover was partially opened on 17 June 2017, and became fully accessible soon after.[4] Since its opening, the flyover has seen three auto accidents, which claimed the lives of four people.[5]
