Road Potholes

Road Potholes

Since the monsoon began, potholes have opened up along the one‑way road around Hatirjheel as asphalt and brickwork have broken loose. Rainwater often conceals their depth, leaving drivers at risk of getting stuck or causing accidents. The photo was taken in Rampura, Hatirjheel, on Sunday. Photo: Syed Zakir Hossain

Potholes plague Hatirjheel roads, raising accident risk amid monsoon

Many of the potholes remain submerged under monsoon rainwater after it rains, making it impossible for drivers to judge their depth and significantly increasing the risk of accidents

Despite its status as a high-profile city artery, Hatirjheel's 8km circular road is riddled with potholes and non-functional streetlights, as shown by this struggling car and ambulance on Tuesday. The poor maintenance turns the road into a perilous, visibility-poor trap after dark and in the rain, demanding immediate repair. Photo: Md Jahidul Islam
