North-bound vehicles leaving Dhaka on Monday night were stranded in a long tailback at Tangail en route to Sirajganj, said Tangail Superintendent of Police Sanjeeb Kumar. Vehicles on the bridge began moving early on Tuesday morning before coming to a standstill from 6am. Traffic congestion added to the sufferings of homebound travellers who remained stuck on the road until 9:30 am. Traffic on the bridge began to move gradually from 9:40 am, said Md Mosharraf Hossain, chief of Bangabandhu Bridge East Police Station. The flow of Dhaka-bound traffic, however, remained normal, said Traffic Inspector of Md Esrajul Haque of Tangail District Police.
