Residents of Dhanmondi
Those of you who frequent around Dhanmondi, during rush hours i.e. in the morning, afternoon and in the evening must have experienced unpleasant traffic situation on both sides of the bridge connecting the eastern part with the western part. As I have been experiencing this unpleasant situation on a regular basis, I kept wondering what is the cause of this unbearable traffic jam. In my observation, it is the dearth of bridge connection between the two parts of Dhanmondi. A few more bridges across the lake could have mitigated the problem to a great extent. It is though true that both Mirpur Road and Shatmashjid Road experience similar situation during such rush hours, even then I am inclined to believe that constructing a few more bridges across the lake shall greatly benefit the commuters.
With the passage of time, the traffic situation is getting worse by the day. Any effort by the authorities in mitigating the sufferings of the city dwellers should be a welcome relief for everybody. I therefore appeal to the concerned authorities to explore the situation and if found suitable they may construct a few more bridges across the lake.
