Mohakhali Flyover (Bengali: মহাখালী উড়ালসেতু) is an overpass located at Mohakhali in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.[3][4][5] It is the first flyover completed in Bangladesh.[1] Although the construction of Khilgaon flyover was started first, the construction of Mohakhali flyover was completed earlier and inaugurated before Khilgaon flyover.[6] That is why Mohakhali flyover can be recognized as the country's first flyover.[1][7][8]

Construction of the Mohakhali flyover began in December 2001 and was opened to traffic in November 2004.[2] The length of this flyover is 1.12 km built with the help of 19 strong pillars.[2][9] There is a 7.5 m wide road for vehicular movement and a 0.6 m footpath on both sides.[10] The flyover took about three years to complete at a cost of about 114 crore taka.[2][11]
