Suchian Group, selected for the Dhaka Bypass Expressway project in Bangladesh, is making progress in development by managing funds and starting physical work. The first PPP project of the Roads and Highways Department (RHD) includes the upgradation of the Dhaka bypass road into a four-lane tollway expressway.

The final cost of the project is estimated to increase significantly, as it took five years to select a private partner, acquire land and manage the funds. In addition, the initial deadline for the project was June 2020, but the project completion will be extended until June 2024. The RHD has acquired 73% of the land for the project.

The project aims to improve communication between Chattogram port and the country's north-western regions. The Dhaka Bypass expressway will be a 48 km road, connecting the Joydevpur-Tangail National Highway, Dhaka-Chattogram National Highway, Dhaka-Sylhet National Highway, Dhaka-Mymensingh National Highway as well as some regional highways and district roads.
