Following the Eid holidays, a 1.5-kilometer traffic jam developed at the Dhaka-bound toll plaza on Bangabandhu Bridge West due to an increase in highway traffic. The congestion, starting Saturday morning, extended from the west end of the bridge to the economic zone gate.

Abdul Quader Jilani, officer-in-charge of Bangabandhu Bridge West police station, cited toll payment delays and vehicle breakdowns due to rain as causes. Authorities have removed malfunctioned vehicles, but heavy traffic is expected to continue until nightfall.
