History

This road was first planned to be constructed in 1989. In 1993, the then government finalized the 48 km long marine drive project for construction. However, after the completion of the construction of a few kilometers, its work was terminated and later the incomplete road was washed away by the strong currents of the Bay of Bengal. Its construction resumed in 1995, when the Bangladesh Army was tasked with its construction.[2] Construction work started for the second time in 2008 after the work was stopped for a few years.[3] Construction of the road from Kolatoli to Inani was completed by 2015.[1] As of December 2016, 60% of the first and second phase has been constructed.[4] This road built at a cost of Шаблон:BDT was inaugurated on 5 May 2017.[5] On 28 June 2022 Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) approved the widening project of the road.[6] At least ten parts of the road were damaged by a storm in August 2023 and at one point part of the road disappeared into the sea.[1]
