Transforming Dhaka's Urban Connectivity

First Dhaka Elevated Expressway Co. Ltd. (FDEE) is the concessionaire company entrusted with developing, operating, and maintaining Bangladesh's inaugural elevated expressway under a landmark Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework.

Spanning from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport through the city's core commercial and residential corridors to Kutubkhali, this expressway addresses one of Dhaka's most pressing urban challenges — chronic traffic gridlock — with a permanent, scalable, high-capacity solution.

Established as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) in collaboration with the Government of Bangladesh and Bangladesh Bridge Authority (BBA), FDEE brings together leading international engineering expertise, advanced toll management systems, and intelligent traffic technologies to deliver an infrastructure asset of national significance.

Built for Dhaka's Future

Six pillars that define the transformative impact of the Dhaka Elevated Expressway on urban life and national progress.

Airport Connectivity

A direct, high-speed link from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport to the city's commercial hub, drastically cutting travel time for air passengers and freight operators alike.

Reduced Travel Time

What previously took over an hour through congested surface roads can now be traversed in a fraction of the time — delivering predictability and efficiency to every commute.

Smart Toll System

Fully automated Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) technology enables frictionless passage, precise revenue management, and real-time traffic data capture for continuous optimisation.

Traffic Management

An integrated intelligent traffic management system monitors flow, incidents, and safety conditions in real time, ensuring smooth, safe operation along the entire corridor.

Economic Growth

By dramatically improving logistics efficiency across the capital, the expressway catalyses industrial productivity, reduces supply-chain costs, and attracts new investment to Bangladesh.

Urban Modernization

The expressway serves as the backbone of a broader smart-city vision for Dhaka — integrated with future transit networks and urban planning to support sustainable, long-term growth.

A Purpose-Built Company for
a Nation-Building Mission

First Dhaka Elevated Expressway Co. Ltd. (FDEE) is the concessionaire company designated to implement the Dhaka Elevated Expressway PPP Project — one of the most significant infrastructure undertakings in Bangladesh's history. Incorporated as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), FDEE holds full responsibility for the financing, design, construction, operation, and long-term maintenance of the expressway under a concession agreement with the Bangladesh Bridge Authority (BBA).

The project represents a landmark collaboration between the Government of Bangladesh and the private sector, structured to attract international capital and global engineering expertise while ensuring that the benefits of modern urban infrastructure are made available to the people of Dhaka and the wider nation.

FDEE's mandate is clear: deliver an expressway that meets international standards, operates with safety and reliability at its core, and contributes meaningfully to Bangladesh's economic and social development goals for decades to come.

To be the foremost model of PPP infrastructure excellence in South Asia — delivering an urban expressway that sets the benchmark for safety, efficiency, and sustainable mobility, while positioning Bangladesh as a leader in modern infrastructure development.

Our Mission

To design, build, operate, and maintain a world-class elevated expressway that reduces congestion, enables economic connectivity, and elevates the quality of life for all who depend on Dhaka's transport network — delivered with accountability, transparency, and international best practice at every stage.
