Sheikh Tamim highway[1] is a street located in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
In the 2010s or earlier, a pathway was constructed through Kalshi to connect the Dhaka Cantonment with the Mirpur Cantonment.[2] In 2018, a plan was made to construct a flyover from ECB Square to Kalshi intersection, which also included widening the existing streets located under the proposed flyover.[3] By 2023, the widening of the 3.7 km-long pathway stretching from ECB Square through Kalshi to Mirpur DOHS was completed. On 19 February of the same year, the widened street was inaugurated along with the Kalshi flyover.[4] On 23 April 2024, the street was named after Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar.[5][6]
