Massive traffic congestion paralyzed the Dhaka-Chittagong and Dhaka-Sylhet highways on Wednesday as city residents departed for four-day Durga Puja celebrations. Vehicles crawled along a 19-kilometer stretch from Signboard to Meghna Toll Plaza, while significant delays affected multiple sections of the Dhaka-Sylhet route.

Highway police attributed the gridlock to unusually high vehicle volumes. Abdul Quader Jilani, in charge of the Kanchpur highway police outpost, confirmed that additional forces had been deployed across affected areas to manage the crisis.

Travelers reported journey times extending from the typical 30 minutes to four hours between Signboard and Meghna Toll Plaza. Bus passenger Sohel Mia departed in the morning but remained stranded in Narsingdi, unable to complete his normally six-hour trip to Sylhet.

Authorities cited holiday travel combined with adverse weather conditions as primary factors disrupting normal traffic flow. Police teams worked to restore regular movement patterns across the congested highways.
