A series of potholes and badly finished patchwork repairs on VIP Road and Jessore Road is stalling traffic and leading to snarls during peak hours every day.
Motorists headed to the airport are facing a near off-road like situation as the airport-bound flank of VIP Road is not only peppered with big and small potholes but also has loose stone chips that have worn away from the blacktop surface, making it tricky to navigate for cars and bikes.
Those headed to the airport from EM Bypass hit an exposed metal expansion joint at the base of the EM Bypass-VIP Road flyover because the bitumen surface has completely eroded away. At least six inches of the metal joint also protrudes onto the road.
