The Bangladesh Bridge Authority (BBA) will carry out routine maintenance work at the Karnaphuli Tunnel from 11:00pm to 5:00am on June 26, 27, 28, and 29.

The scheduled maintenance will include cleaning of jet fans and road marking inside the tunnel, the BBA said in a press statement.

During the four-night period, traffic through the "Patenga to Anwara" tube will be diverted in a controlled manner through the "Anwara to Patenga" tube.

Depending on the traffic flow, commuters may experience delays ranging from five to 10 minutes at either end of the tunnel, according to the statement.

The BBA has urged tunnel users to cooperate during the maintenance window to ensure smooth and safe operations.
