The vehicular movement in the Rampura-Badda area slowed down, and heavy traffic congestion was created after an oil truck broke down on the roadside on Tuesday.
As a result, heavy traffic congestion has been created in Rampura, Banasree, Merul Badda, Gulshan Link Road, Nadda and Kuril Bishwa Road areas.
It takes about one and a half hours to cross the 20 to 25-minute road by vehicle.
The fuel oil truck broke down in front of Jamuna Future Park around 6am on Tuesday.
A regular commuter from Badda to Kuril, Md Sharif Khan, told media: "The metro rail construction has been ongoing on this road for a long time. Usually, the traffic moves intermittently. Today (Tuesday), we had to stop for 30-40 minutes at one place."
"It usually takes me 30-40 minutes to travel from Badda to Kuril, but today (Tuesday) it took two hours. The vehicle was stationary for 40 minutes on Rampura Bridge."
