MAYOR MOHAMMAD HANIF FLYOVER
Infrastructure development is one of the top priorities of a country's economic progress. Planned and well connected infrastructure services attract foreign direct investments and boost local investments. To meet the present and future demand for infrastructure development, developing and least developed countries like Bangladesh always face scarcity of their own reso
urces. Therefore, to accelerate infrastructure development, the Government has encouraged private sector participation in infrastructure projects. The first such project is the Jatrabari-Gulistan Flyover project in Dhaka which is to be implemented on a Build, Operate, Own and Transfer (BOOT) basis. With the vision to be among the leaders in infrastructure development, Orion Group incorporated Orion group, a concession company to bid for the Jatrabari-Gulistan Flyover Project. After a highly competitive bidding, Orion Group was awarded the concession to design, construct, maintain and operate the Flyover. The Concession Agreement, the first of its kind in Bangladesh, was sealed on June 21, 2005. This hi-tech capital intensive project is going to be the first Private Public Partnership (PPP) project in Bangladesh. After their commencement the present government as a step to encourage private investments took necessary actions to introduce Private Public Partnership (PPP) in the infrastructure sector of the country. In this vision, the government has taken decisive initiatives to complete the construction of the Jatrabari-Gulistan Flyover on priority basis. Orion group was awarded the Jatrabari-Gulistan Flyover Project on a Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) basis. This modern spectrum will be the first BOOT basis private investment project and also the first PPP project of the country. This long expected 9 km long four lane wide mega structure will not only mitigate the congestions of traffics but also will be beneficial for the economic development of the country. This would be a breakthrough-structure with state-of-the-art architecture and would be its own kind in Bangladesh. Description of the Project:
