In the 1st Phase - 24 km length from Kalatoli, Coxsbazar to Inani; 2nd Phase-24 km length from
Inani to Shilkhali and 3rd Phase-32 km length from Shilkhali to Teknaf have been built. Originally,
only the 2nd Phase project has been undertaken by IMED for Impact Evaluation; But, as the
objectives of the 3 (three) Phases of the projects are same and each is related with other, in this
study for socio-economic impact analysis all the 3 phases length is included in addition to the details
evaluation of the 2nd phase project.
A DPP for the Marine Drive Road was approved by the ECNEC on 06-06-2000 to implement the
work by Bangladesh Army/RHD. But due to non-availability of fund, in FY 2004-2005, the project
was phased out into three phases. The re-casted DPP of the 1st Phase project of the Cox’s Bazar
had been approved by ECNEC in December, 2005 and it was completed in June, 2008 at a cost of
Tk. 93.77 crore. The original DPP of the 2nd phase project was approved by ECNEC on 25-4-2008
at a cost of Tk 155.76 crore with the duration from 2008-09 to 2012-13. During 2009-10, the 1st
Revised DPP with the cost of Tk. 169.29 crore has been approved. During 2012-13, 2nd RDPP has
been approved in which the project cost was Tk. 490.37 crore and due to the increased cost of the
land, through on SRDPP, the project cost was re-fixed at Tk. 491.26 crore, which was approved on
22-06-2016. The 2nd Phase project has been completed in June, 2016. The Phase-III project has
been approved for 3 years duration from 2014-15 FY at an estimated cost of Tk. 203.06 crore and
with its implementation in June, 2018, the whole project has been completed in all respect.
The impact evaluation of the project has been performed using both Qualitative and Quantitative
methods.
The 2nd phase project has been completed at a cost of Tk. 474.68 crore (96.62%) against the
approved SRDPP amount of Tk. 491.27 crore. In this case, the cost of land acquisition is 59.38%
of the project cost, As a result, the cost-over-run of the project compared to original DPP is
204.74%. The time-over-run of the project is 3 years i.e. it took 3 years more time in implementation
in addition to its original duration of 5 years. The project cost has been increased in the SRDPP, as
the pavement width has been built 5.50 meter instead of 3.66 meter as per provision of 2nd RDPP.
The Tk. 16.58 crore as per provision in Contingency Head hasn’t been expensed. But, 100%
physical progress of almost all components have been achieved. The procurement of “Goods” and
“Works” have been done as per PIP of the Bangladesh Army and project was implemented using
the equipments as well as man-power of the Army Unit and the construction works were supervised
by the Engineers of different level of the Bangladesh Army.
i
Findings from the interview of the KII stakeholders, viz: public representatives, road-users,
beneficiaries of the project, FGD and Local Level Workshop shows that the alternate road
communication from Coxsbazar to Teknaf has become time-saving of about 50% (almost one & a
half hour) due to construction of the road as Regional Highway Standard; after construction of the
road, the growth of tourists in Coxsbazar has been multiplied successively. Opportunity for
production of shrimp all over the country and earning of foreign currency have been increased as
the road has facilitated the quick transportation of the fingerlings produced in the hatcheries situated
in the project areas; the productivities of the agricultural lands have been increased as the people
and the cultivable lands have been protected from the effect of tidal bore and the salinity.
6.00 km road of the total 24 km length of 2nd phase have been observed in detail. The finding is
that the condition of road embankment and pavement is good except some deviations in road
embankment. The deviations are: rain-cuts created in shoulders and slopes of 2.00 kilometer.
Findings in 24.00 km length in item of geometric design, road safety, road appurtenants and in
plantations are; There is obstruction in the sight of vehicle driver in inner side of the curves in 2 km
length; in 8 km length guide pillars were not been installed in road-curves, in approaches of bridges
& culverts, there is a accident-prone spot in S-curve at 32nd km; though rumble strips has been
provided there, but it hasn’t been provided in proper place; in 7 km length either there is no sign-
signal or sign-signals inadequate. Condition of the 7 culverts and 3 bridges are good; but in one
culvert, vehicles are experiencing jerking, in 2 culverts the span length is shorter compared to the
channel width, wheel guards of 4 culverts were not been painted. In the approach of one bridge, the
protective work done was observed inadequate. Protective works providing geo-bags, tetrapods etc.
have been done in 1227 meter length of the sea-shore. The completed protective works were
observed sustainable; but more tetrapods are required to be placed. Compressive strength of the
concretes of the 3 culverts and 2 bridges, done by Schmidt Hammer Tests are found specified except
the strength of wearing course of a culvert at 38th km. Comparing the traffic that have been counted
during this study with that before the construction, it is observed that in the span of 2 years, AADT
of total motorized and non-motorized vehicle increased to 9770 nos. from the previous 3173 nos.
i.e., the traffic growth per year is 104%.
From the findings of Household Beneficiary survey, it reveals that the socio-economic condition of
the people of the project areas have been improved more compared to other area, viz: (1) The
increase in family monthly income of the project areas (Tk. 10,000 or above income family) is 21%
more than the increase in monthly income of control areas in the time difference of before and after
implementation of project; (2) There has been a positive change in the profession: previously
businessmen was 17%, at present 21%; previously unemployed was 17%, now it is 13% and in the
opinion of almost 43% respondents, new employment created in tourism and construction sector.
SWOT analysis of the project show that on construction of the road beside the longest sea-beach of
the world, it become accessible, communication become easier and time-saving, opening a new
door for flourishment of tourism which is the main strength of the project. To enjoy the heavenly
beauty of the World’s longest sea-beach, the presence of the local and foreign tourists have been
increased several times compared to the previous numbers; the road is playing vital role for
preventing damage due to the effect of tidal bore and also saving the cultivable land from the salinity
effect of sea-water, these are the strengths of the project. Elapsing of additional 3 (three) years time
ii
beyond the stipulated period of 5 (five) years is a weakness of the project. Dependency of the
passengers largely on 3-wheelers auto-rickshaws and micro-buses as mass transports, even mini-
bus or small buses are not allowed to ply on the road, it is also a weakness. Cut of communication
from Kalatali to Bailey Hatchery; non-reconstruction of narrow Rezukhal Bridge at 18th km and
construction of a few culverts including one at 27th km having smaller span compared to the channel
width etc. are the main weak points of the project.
Meanwhile, as the tourists were attracted multiple times of the previous, with the growth of the
tourism, huge opportunity of jobs have been created. Construction of Marine Drive Road from
Coxsbazar to Teknaf has facilitated BEZA to undertake an Echo-park project at Sabrang (near
Teknaf). To prevent construction of structures (unlawfully) within the preserved and required width
(300 m/ 500 m) on bothsides of the road; maintenance of the protective works done on the sea-
shore; sustainability of the road due to a vulnerable point of Pathorrani areas at 28th km, as the road
is very close to the sea (10 meter) at that spot etc. are the threats or challenges of the project.
Some of the important recommendation of the impact evaluation are:
For restoration of disrupted communication between Kalatali to Bailey Hatchery of the 1st Phase
portion of Marine Drive Road which was constructed in 3 phases, in the breached spot and in sea-
beach at grade but of safe height, sustainable road to be constructed having appropriate robust
design with protective works, on the basis of Hydro-morphological Study Report, to ensure the
trouble-free movement of the tourists.
To create facilities for safe and comfortable journey of general passengers as well as for tourists,
mass transports like small or medium capacity buses/tourist buses, tourists smart service by BRTC
or by private entrepreneurs may be operated. It may be implemented on PPP basis.
It will not be right, at all, to allow construction of any structure on the sea-side of the Marine Drive
Road for protecting the beauty and also construction of structures on the otherside (country side) at
safe distance may be allowed only on prior permission of Coxsbazar Development Authority
(CoxDA) and RHD. To ensure this CoxDA, RHD, Coxsbazar District and Upazila Administration
and Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation to be watchful so that none can build structure without
permission. In this regard, respective Ministry may take steps to follow the Master Plan prepared
by CoxDA.
Instead of narrow Rezukhal Bailey Bridge at 18th km of 1st Phase project a double-lane permanent
bridge having aesthetically beautiful design to be built. Besides, to prevent accident at culvert of
32nd km which was built in a S-curve, a new small bridge replacing the culvert with approaches at
both ends to be constructed there. The approaches are to be eased on re-alignment. RTHD of MRTB
may take necessary steps in this regard.
Forest Department may take up social afforestation program in bothsides of the Marine Drive Road
in a very planned way upholding the characteristics of sea-coastal forest as well as mountain forest.
Design of the afforestation project ought to be done by engaging Consultant Firm. But, for utmost
appropriateness, advice of the “Specialist Panel of Experts” to be incorporated in design. The
plantation can’t be done continuously in the beach, plantation to be done keeping intermittent gap
(at alternate interval), so that tourists can clearly see the sea from the road.
iii
For ensuring safe and comfortable movement of the tourists, adequate no. of sign-signals in the
road to be installed, Rumble Strip as speed calming device in accident-prone spots to be constructed,
parking area beside the road to be earmarked, required no. of sign-signals to be installed in bridge
& culvert approaches, reflectory sheets to be stuck, guide posts are to be installed; as the road is
very close to the sea-shore, for preventing erosion in the vulnerable spots, protective measures, viz:
placement of tetrapods, geo-textile bags etc. to be taken and Tourist Police to be engaged for
ensuring security of the tourists.

Glossary
AADT: AADT is the Annual Daily Traffic. The aggregate no. of vehicles plying in a road or
Highway in both direction divided by 365 days is called AADT. It is used in planning of
transportation system and in transportation Engineering. AADT reflects how much a road is used
or how busy the road is. In design of pavement thickness, the no. of CVD (Commercial vehicle per
day) is used. On the other hand to design the no. of lane and width of a road, the nos. of both the
motorized and non-motorized vehicle are needed.
Accident Black Spot: Accident black spot are usually defined as road locations with (relatively)
high accident potentials or where accident have historically been concentrated.
Axle Load: The axle load of a wheeled vehicle is the total weight felt by the roadway or rail-line
tracks for all wheels connected to given axle (where axle is a steel shaft which connects wheels
centrally at ends). As for example, in Bangladesh, small, medium and big trucks are plying on the
roads. Small and medium trucks made with 2-Axle and big truck are made with 3-Axle. In 2-Axle
highest 6 tyres is used and in 3-Axle minimum 10 tyres are used. Pavement is designed, generally,
considering 2 tons of load over a wheel/tyre in Front Axle and 4 ton in Rear Axle. So, trucks
carrying load more than that, damages the road.
Hard-shoulder: In the roads where the paved road is narrow, so for passing of both way traffic
easily, sometimes, earthen shoulders in part-width (minimum 3ft in each side) is improved by brick-
pavement or flexible pavement at a low cost. This is called hard-shoulder. Hard-shoulder, generally,
used by pedestrian, bicycle and non-motorized slow moving vehicles.
Households (HHs): A household is identified as a dwelling unit where one or more persons live
and eat together with a common cooking arrangement. Persons living in the same dwelling unit
having separate cooking arrangements constitute separate household.
Raveling: If the aggregates become visible due to the progressive disintegration of binding between
the aggregates and the bitumen. Raveling is created due to the abrasion between the tyre and the
road surface and/or due to weathering action. If the rain water is continuously accumulated on the
surface of the road, then raveling is formed on the pavement. Also it is created due to passing of
vehicular traffic through the water stagnant or water-logged pavement surface.
Right of Way (ROW): The legal right of landed property, established by usage or acquisition, to
pass along a specific route through grounds or property belonging to the route. ROW demarcation
is required of preventing unauthorized encroachment.
Rumble strip: A series of raised strips with about 6” height across a road, which create shaking of
vehicle and thus compels reduction on the speed of vehicle and a noise also created.
Rutting: Depression on the pavement having a width of tyre, along the wheel paths and on the
length of pavement is called rutting. Rutting may occur due to under-thickness of pavement or due
to the weakness of it. It may happen due to over-loaded goods carrying trucks, lorries etc. Ruts are
evident particularly after a rain, when they are filled with water. Performance of a pavement is
recorded measuring its rutting. Rutting of an smaller size indicates the problem in the pavement
while greater size rutting indicate the problem in sub-grade as well. In Bangladesh rutting is much
observed in single lane road occurring due to plying of over-loaded 2 Axle trucks.
vi
Shoulder: A shoulder, often serving as an emergency stopping lane, is a reserved lane by verge of
a road or motorway. In Bangladesh shoulders are used mainly for non-motorized vehicle, bicycles
and for pedestrians. Shoulders are mostly built of earth. Shoulders protect the main crest of
pavement analogous to the shoulders of a man that helps in keeping head of a man.
Stakeholders: Those who may be potentially affected/benefitted by a proposal, e.g. local people,
the proponent, government agencies, NGOs, donors and all other parties who may be
affected/benefitted by the project or to take an interest in it.
Super-elevation: The amount by which the outer edge of a curve on a road or railway is built above
the inner edge is called Super-elevation. If super-elevation is not made in a road or in a railway
track, then during plying vehicle or train will not turn properly; rather it may be thrown out of the
road or track due to inertia of the velocity of the vehicle.

Chapter One
Background, description, objectives and financing of the project
The construction of Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road (Feeder Road Type-A) has been
started in September of FY 1993-1994 by 16 ECB, Bangladesh Army. In July 1994, Army handed
over the project to RHD. Later on the project was again taken over by the Corp of Engineers of
Bangladesh Army by the order of the Hon’ble Prime Minister. The DPP of the project had been
approved by ECNEC on June 06, 2000 at an estimated cost of Tk. 14850.60 lakh. But due to non-
allocation of sufficient fund, in FY 2004-2005, Coxsbazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Project has been
decided that the project would be implemented in 3 phases.

(e) Project Locations: 80 kilometer marine drive road from Cox's Bazar to Teknaf has been
constructed in 3 (three) phases. The 1st phase - 24 km length from Kalatoli at Coxsbazar town to
Inani is located in Cox's Bazar Sadar and Ramu Upazila, the 2nd phase-24 km length from Inani to
Shilkhali is located in Ukhiya and Teknaf Upazilas and 3rd phase-32 km length from Shilkhali to
Teknaf is located in Teknaf Upazila. The phase-wise location of the project is shown in "Map-I"
(Page no. 6).
1.4 Objectives of the project: The main objectives (7 nos) of the project are as follows:
(a) Regional Highway: Construction of the road in Regional Highway standard connecting Ukhia
and Teknaf with Coxsbazar beside the beach of the Bay of Bengal.
(b) Tourism: The road will play an important role in growth of tourism in this area. It will facilitate
in attracting the world’s longest and continuous natural beach to the tourists.
(c) Natural Resources: It will facilitate better in collecting the forest resources as well as other
natural resources.
(d) Alternative Route: It will be an alternative route to the existing Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf National
Highway (N-1).
(e) Fishing industries: It will create opportunity for expanding the fishing industries in this region.
(f) Relationship with Myanmar: It will contribute in improving the military, political and
economic relation with Myanmar.
(g) Salinity: It will save the local people as well as the cultivable land from the effect of tidal surge
and salinity.

1.5 Project approval, revision & implementation:
The re-casted DPP of the phase-1 project of the Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road had been
approved by ECNEC in December, 2005 and it was completed in June, 2008 at a cost of Tk. 93.77
crore. After completion of the survey work for the phase-II project during 2007 by 16 ECB, the
DPP of the project was approved by ECNEC on 25-4-2008 at a cost of Tk 15576.41 lakh. During
2009-10, the 1st Revised DPP was approved. Later on, 2nd RDPP was approved in which the
project cost was Tk. 49037.17 lakh. Afterwards, due to the increased cost of the land through on
SRDPP, the project cost was re-fixed at Tk. 49126.61 lakh, which was approved on 22-06-2016
and the project has been completed in June, 2016. The Phase-III project was approved for 3 years
duration from 2014-15 FY at the estimated cost of Tk. 203.21 crore and its implementation has
been completed in June, 2018

Chapter Two
Methodology, sample design and work-plan of the Study
k) Comparative review of traffic volume on its various routes before and after implementation
of the project;
l) To analyze and review the volume and characteristics of road traffic under the project
m) To review use of sign-signal post in project roads and assessment of impact of traffic
services and their impact on discipline
7
n) To Prepare evaluation report based on the information and observation received from the
project area with necessary recommendations with the approval of the purchasing agency
(IMED);
o) To organize a local level and National level workshop and to finalizing the evaluation report
considering the findings and the feedback / recommendations received in the workshop
with prior approval of the purchasing agency (IMED) and;
p) Other matters related to the project determined by the Procuring Entity (IMED).
The Impact Evaluation Study has been done following two methods, namely: - (a) Qualitative and
(b) Quantitative methods, are used.
2.2.1 Qualitative Data Collecting Methods: For collecting qualitative data following methods
were used:
(a) Document Review: To capture the process efficiencies and outputs, particularly assessment of
the physical and financial progress/achievements against the targets was undertaken. This was
primarily accomplished through documents review, particularly IMED Reports and Progress
Reports were reviewed to assess the physical progress: comparison of targets versus achievements
both physical & financial and also for identifying the flaws & deviations as well as success-failure
in effectiveness of the project. In view of this, DPP, RDPP, PCR, UAF Report, Design-Drawing
(Specification), PIP, IMED Inspection Report and Progress Report has been reviewed for this
purpose. Actual achievement has been analyzed as per the components of project. According to the
physical observation in filed level, recommendations for accepting/taking new projects in future for
coastal areas has been reflected in the impact assessment report. In addition, the particulars and
quantity of land acquired in the project area has been included in the report.
(b) Key Informant’s Interview (KII): KII is one of the method for In-depth Qualitative
Investigation. KII was conducted to obtain data on quality and use of infrastructural components,
perceptions and opinions of the Key Informants including other stakeholders to measure successes
or failures indicating sustainability and impact of the project. To attain the main objectives of the
Impact Evaluation, a total of 55 KII (table-2.01) was taken from Project Director, project related
officer, concerned Govt. officers, Public representative, benificiaries (viz: Businessmen involved in
hotels, restaurants and tourism industry), representative of transport association, vehicle driver,
road-users farmers and students. Interviews has been taken as per Semi-structured Questionnaire
(Annexure-II).

c) Focus Group Discussions (FGD): In order to obtain the filed level data, FGD has been organized
in the Teknaf Upazila under the Chairmanship of the Upazila Nirbahi Officer. The data was
collected following the pre-scheduled FGD Questionnaire (Annexure-III). The list of invited
discussants in FGD is shown in Table 2.02.
(d) Infra-structural observation through Checklists: The roads, bridge & culverts, protective
work and road safety activities were physically observed in the field and verified whether they are
sustainable or not. One of the main components of the DPP is the construction of flexible pavement
(design type-5) and construction of flexible pavement (design type-4). In some chainage, the design
type-5 and design type-4 has been followed, as mentioned in the report. Besides, it has been
examined whether Geometric Design of the road has been done properly. For the above purposes,
a Checklist for Infra-structural observation was prepared. For road-embankment, pavement, road
9
safety activities and culverts, Checklist Annexure-IV-A were used and for Bridges, Annexure-IV-
B were used and for protective works Annexure-IV-C was used. The main parameters which were
observed are shown in table 2.03.

(e) Post-construction field tests: The concrete bridges and culverts have been tested in the field to
examine whether they were constructed according to the specification. 2 bridges (namely- Monkhali
and Inani Bridge) and in case of 3 culverts field test have been done using "Non-destructive Schmidt
Hammer Test".
(f) Traffic Survey: AADT surveys has been conducted in a station (i.e. Rezukhal Bridge) to
collected the data about the mode & number of traffic movement of the road. Traffic standard format
has been used for counting vehicles. During the traffic survey, the field level officers of the Army
and members of the BGB has given their physical support & co-operation.
(g) Data relating to road accident: To collect data on the occurrence of road accidents in the
project road during the last one year, related questions has been included in HH’s, KII and FGD
questionnaire. Besides, during inspection of the structures constructed under the project, required
data on road accidents has been collected. Findings are included in the report.
(h) Local Level Workshop: As per the TOR, at the ending stage of the quantitative data collection,
on 11 March, 2019, a Local Level Workshop has been arranged at the Cox's Bazar Sadar Upazila
to facilitate the collection of data on 3 Phases of the project roads and to take feedback from District
Level Stakeholders.
11
(i) SWOT Analysis: Data on SWOT has been extracted from both the Quantitative and Qualitative
data obtained following the methods stated above. Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat
have been identified and analyzed. For this purpose, pre-scheduled SWOT questions have been
included in the HH’s Survey, KII and FGD.
2.2.2 Quantitative Household Survey: For a comprehensive and designed Impact Evaluation
Survey, data and study findings has been collected applying the methods of Quantitative surveys
among beneficiaries which were conducted to obtain data primarily on the effectiveness of the
project interventions in terms of achieving the desired results; progress in Tourism industry, income
and employment generations and also impacts on poverty reduction etc. For comparative analysis,
data has been collected from the Benificiary of Household and Business Entities of the project areas
using the questionnaire of Annexure-IA; while for control area data has been collected from the
Benificiary of Households and Business Entities using the questionnaire of Annexure-1B. The
respondents those who are living out of project area but at the distance of within 2 km or more from
the line of project area is defined as control area. For the Quantitative Household Survey, the
following Socio-economic Indicators has been included in the questinnaire :-
Area of influence of the project (AOI), Beneficiaries and Control area: Indigent people of the
locality are the direct beneficiaries of the project. As per UAF guide-lines prepared by RHD for
preparation of project proposal for road project, beneficiaries are considered to be the people living
within 1 km buffer area on bothsides of the road of road project and 2 km buffer area on both sides
for bridges which is called AOI. There is no human settlement on the sea shore side of the road. So
the people of the 2-4 kilometer (buffer) area on the other side of the road has been selected as AOI
respondents. In addition to the general beneficiaries, one of the beneficiaries of this project is the
businessmen and business people related to tourism industry. So they are also included in the AOI
as the beneficiary.
On the other hand, because in one side of the surveyed road is the sea, the area of Control has been
selected at 2 km distance to the east of the road or supposingly where there is no impact of the
project.
12
Sample size for Quantitative Household Survey: A stratified multi-stage sampling
methodology was applied to select the survey units (i.e. beneficiary household). The sample size
was calculated using the following statistical formula:-
𝑧 2 𝑝(1−𝑝)
n=[ ]Design effect
𝑑2
Where,
n= the desired sample size
z= the standard normal deviate, usually set at 1.96 at 95% confidence level;
p= Consider p=0.50;suppose 50% of the indigent people is benefited through project
and increased their income or wages and improved their socio-economic status and
standard of living;
d= is the level of accuracy that is considered 5%; and
Design effect is= 1.0 to 2.0
Since the sea is on the one side of the road and on the other side of the road there are hills. As a
result the area is less populated. So here design effect is considered as 1.0 ;
So, using the above values in the formulae,
Sample Distribution:
The Multi-Stage Stratified Sampling procedure described above has been followed for the selection
of the beneficiary household. Since Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road Project has been
implemented in 3 (three) phases. So in the Impact Evaluation, length of roads and phase-wise time
expiry of the project completion has been considered for sampling, so that actual impacts are
reflected. For this purpose, against the project area sample size of 384, control area sample size has
been determined 192 as 50% of project area sample size. So data has been collected from (384+192)
576 nos. of respondents from the field. Other than the beneficiary households, respondents have
been included from the Business Entities like Hotel, Restuarants, Motel, Rent-a-car service
Providers, shopkeepers and other businessmen. In the 3-phases roads of the project as per sample
distribution shown in table 2.06, required nos of HH’s and BE’s were surveyed following systematic
sampling at the field level for project areas as well as in control areas.
Selection of control area respondents: Since no fundamental baseline survey was conducted in
the project area, it is not possible to compare the benefits achieved in the project area due to the
implementation of the project. In view of this, the villages in the control area has been selected in
areas where no improvement of road infrastructure was done under this project to achieve the
desired target of the study. Control areas are selected at remote areas those are at a distance more
then 2 km the no. of control area village is 50% of the project area villages i.e. 192 respondents
were selected from 8 control area villages. Households have been surveyed using systematic
sampling process. The table 2.06 show the sample distribution.

Chapter Three
Review of component-wise target, achievements and
problems during implementation
Introduction: As per TOR of the Impact Study of the “Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road
Construction Project”, the impact study of 80 km road to be done, of which details to be included
for 24 km length of phase-II from Inani to Shilkhali. So, review of (a) Component-wise progress
(both physical & Financial), target, achieved progress and (b) year-wise financial requirements as
per DPP, year-wise allocation and expenditure etc. has been done. For this, DPP’s, PCR and IMED
Inspection Reports were reviewed and findings are furnished in the following paras.

3.2.2 (a) Target and achievement as per 1st Revised DPP: As per original DPP and the 1st
Revised DPP, the target was to complete the project within 5 (Five) years from July, 2008 to June,
2013. 17 ECB of the Bangladesh Army has surveyed the road from Inani to Shilkhali and prepared
the original DPP. But that was revised after 3 (three) years from starting the implementation of the
project. As per PCR, the year-wise allocation and expenditure of the project is shown in table 3.02
and Figure 3.1.

Figure 3.1 shows that in the original duration of 5 years, the achievement was only 41.25%. Figure
also shows that target has been achieved in no financial year; rather in last financial year, the
achievement was only 3.94%
3.2.2 (b) Reasons for 1st Revision of the project: On review of the 1st DPP it was observed that
its revision become necessary for a few reasons which are as follows:-
In the 1st year of the project, price of construction materials increased;
Due to increase in number and span of the bridge and culvert as a result of changes of the
course of channel/khals in between the time of preparation of DPP and actual time of
implementation in the field.
There was a provision in the original DPP to follow the LGED alignment at the begining of
the 2nd phase (24th to 26th km). But, in the 1st RDPP, the common alignment of 3 km
LGED road has been omitted considering the “Classification” of the road.
As per direction of the IMED after inspection of the 1st phase pavement work, the last 16
km of the 2nd phase has been undertaken following design type-4 instead of design type-5.
As the DPP was prepared in 2006, where “RHD schedule of Rates” has been revised in
2008, so estimated cost of DPP required to be revised.
A higher rate of Global warming has caused a climate change, which was a threat for the
existence of the Marine Drive Road along the sea beach too. The wave has increased
unexpectedly from the Mean Sea Level (MSL) and caused frequent surges to hit the shoulder
of the road with the wave of about 20-25 feet height (in places). It has therefore, caused
rapid erosion of sea shore and exerted threat with higher intensity to the nearby sea shore.
As a result, a need of protective work has also been increased in terms of length and volume.
Increase in cost of Land Aquisition with the increase of land price.
20
3.2.3 Cost of the project as per 2nd RDPP and target for completion:
(a) Increase of the DPP Cost of the project: In the 1st Revised DPP, the duration was from 2008-
09 to 2012-13 i.e, the duration has not been extended. But, the progress was only 41.15% in the
original duration and also the cost of different component has been increased. So, it was
recommended in the PEC meeting held on 14-04-2014, for the 2nd Revision of DPP. On 17-04-
2018 ECNEC has approved the 2nd Revised DPP at a cost of Tk. 49037.16 lakh and the project
duration has been extended upto June, 2016.
(b) Reasons for cost increase of the 2nd Revised DPP: The Justification for the increase of cost
are as follows:-
Main reasons for the 2nd Revision of DPP was due to the huge increased cost in Land
Acquisition due to increase of land cost. It is to be noted that the estimated cost of Land
Acquisition determined by the D.C office for the 2nd RDPP is 8 times then the 1st RDPP
provision.
Another Major cause for the 2nd RDPP is the changes of Schedule of Rates of RHD in the
year 2011, while the 1st RDPP was approved on the basis of the “Schedule of Rates” of
RHD of the year 2008.
In the 2nd Revised DPP, the Pavement width has been planned for 18 ft instead of previous
12ft
In addition, for construction of Phase-III of Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road, cost
for Land Acquisition required has been included in DPP of phase-II, as a result cost for land
acquisition in the 2nd RDPP has been increased.
Above all, as a result of the practical requirements for protective work, its length and volume
has been increased. IWM has designed it for stable and permanent protective work including
cross drainage structure along the coast line for protection, for which the project cost has
been increased.
(c) Extension of the project time and reasons for the same: In the 2nd RDPP alongwith the
proposal for increased cost, extension of implementation period for 3 (three) years has also been
proposed. The stated reasons are as follows:
During the whole project period upto 2012-13 as per original DPP and 1st RDPP, the fund
allocation was only Tk. 76.00 crore, which was utilized within that period. But, due to
irregular and inadequate fund allocation, the project couldn’t be implemented in time.
The implementation of the project was also delayed due to the delay in Land Acquisition.
Due to huge investment by the Individual Enterprenuers and the construction of physical
infra-structure by them, price of land in the project area escalated geometrically resulting to
huge increase in the cost of Land. Consequently Acquisition process has been delayed, so
the DPP has been revised and for which much time has been required for processing of DPP.
3.2.4 Component-wise expenditure of the project as per SRDPP: At the end stage of the 2nd
RDPP, during May, 2016. Special Revised DPP of the project has been prepared and presented on
26-5-2016 DPEC meeting. In the SRDPP, for acquisition of 230.1428 acres of land and for payment
of compensation for structures and fees were included, so the cost has been re-fixed as total Tk.
21
28187.74 lakh. But, the quantity and cost of other component remained unchanged i.e., the cost of
SRDPP became Tk. 49126.62 lakh instead of the cost of the 2nd RDPP cost which was Tk. 49037.16
lakh.
As per recommendation of DPEC, Hon’ble Minister for Road Transport and Bridges has approved
the above proposal on 22-06-2016. In the table 3.03 the component-wise cost of the 2nd RDPP and
SRDPP with its variation is shown.

Table 3.03 shows that cost defference of SRDPP and RDPP is only Tk. 89.46 lakh which was
inevitable due to cost increase for Land Acquisition. It is also evident from the statement that cost
has been increased in no other item than the Land Acquisition.
3.2.5 Actual cost of the project: On review of PCR, it is observed that the actual project cost is
Tk.47468.36 lakh. It is also observed that expenditure has been achievement in Revenue and Capital
Head as per target of SRDPP. But, in the items of price contingency and the physical contingency
no expenditure has been done. As a result, the final actual expenditure was Tk. 47468.36 lakh or
96.62% of the SRDPP, which is Tk 1568.80 lakh less than the 2nd RDPP. In the table 3.04, the

3.2.6 Analysis of Findings: From the PCR it is evident that it was better to submit Internal Variation
proposal for the 2nd Revised DPP instead of submitting Special Revised DPP keeping the
contingency cost intact and seeking requirement for an increased cost for land acquisition, in turn
the project cost. From the letter vide memo no. 35.00.0000.034.14.003.99-279 dated 23-06-2016,
the “SRDPP for Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road Phase-II (From Inani to Shilkhali)” project
has been approved by Hon’ble Minister for Road Transport and Bridges on 22-06-2016 at a cost of
Tk. 49126.62 lakh.
The implementation of the project started during 2008-09 having total project cost of Tk. 15576.41
lakh. Later on, it was revised in two times and a special revision has also been done. So the actual
project cost stands at Tk. 47468.36 lakh which is 304.74% of the original cost of the project. On
review of the component-wise expenditure, it is observed that the physical progress in case of land
acquisition and payment of compensation, achievements is 0.04% less than the target, while the
financial progress achieved in those cases are 100%, Besides, the actual expenditure of the project
is 96.62% of the estimated cost, while the physical progress for including all items are 100%.
However, Tk. 1658.28 lakh of contingency head remained unspent.

27
From the above table and the phi-chart, it is evident that 59.38% of the total project cost has been
expended for Land Acquisition. Out of this total Land Acquisition cost of Tk. 1503.48 lakh has
been required for acquisition of 49.54 acre of land for phase-III project. Hence, if Tk. 1503.48 lakh
is excluded, the expenditure for the phase-II stands at Tk. 45964.59 lakh. So, real expenditure for
land acquisition of phase-II is 58.05% of the total project cost.
3.5 Land acquisition and payment of compensation: A total of 180.5436 acres of land have
been acquired in 24 km road-length from Inani to Shilkhali. In addition, 49.5942 acres of land has
been acquired from Shilkhal to Teknaf for phase-III project. Mouza-wise quantity of land
acquired for phase-II project is shown in table 3.06.
On review of DPP it is observed that the land acquired for phase-II are in the 2 Mouzas viz: Inani
& Shilkhali. Further it is observed that the compensation money included the value of land,
compensation cost for structures and trees etc. From the documents, it is evident that the value of
acquired land, structures and tress were paid as in the project provision. Since, there was no
resettlement works included in the project, no persons/agency has been resettled under the project.
3.6 Protection of acquired land (ROW) of the road and preservation of the documents:
The width of the acquired land i.e., ROW of the Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Project in both
sides of the road is minimum 24 meter and it is more in the bridge approach. Since, payment of
Land Acqusition has been made 100% to D.C, So Gazettee notification of the land has been made
and the land has been transferred to RHD as well. Hence, project authority i.e. 16 ECB and
Coxsbazar Road Division should update the mutuation of the land. On the otherhand, it was
observed that though the compensation money has already been transfered to D.C office, all affected
persons can not be given payments due to lack of their entitlement document, succession certificate
or litigation of court-case etc,. The implementation agency should keep contact with D.C office and
take positive steps so that the affected persons are not deprived from their due compensation for an
indefinite period. It may be mentioned here that Tk. 281 crore 87 lakh and 74 thousand has been
transferred to the D.C., Coxsbazar for the project (Phase-II). How much amount of this money has
already been paid, how much are under the process for payment and how much can’t be paid at all,
this statistics is to be collected from the D.C., Coxsbazar office by the RTHD. On the basis of the
data obtained from the D.C., Coxsbazar RTHD may submit a recommendation to the Govt. for
formulation of Policy decision if required any. It may be mentioned here that during the process of
data collection in the field some KII respondents informed that a few affected person have not yet
received their due compensation.
28
3.7 Limitations in obtaining documents and logistics facilities:
After signing of the contracts for the Impact Study, DPP and PCR of the project have been supplied.
For getting other documents viz: PIP of the Bangladesh Army, design-drawing and specification of
Bridges, Culverts and logistrics with equipments for verification of black top and quality of
pavement, the requisition was placed to IMED. Then IMED has forwarded it to 34 ECB Head
quarter at Dampara, Chattogram. As per per instruction of 34 ECB, 16 ECB has given co-operation
at the field level while data were being collected. But, some documents and laboratory facilities
could not be get available, some documents were supplied in the field level and some other data
were available from the IMED inspection reports. Some data were found during FGD and Local
Level Workshop. Concrete strength of bridge, culverts and block-pitching element have been tested
in the field by using equipments of the Consultant Firm. After the 2nd Technical Committee
Meeting, PIP of the Bangladesh Army has been supplied. But no package-wise data as to who were
engaged in the work has not been supplied.

Chapter Four
Review of procurement activity of the project
4.1 Introductions: As per TOR of the Impact Evaluation of the “Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive
Road Construction”, it is to be reviwed whether PPA-2006 and PPR-2008 has been followed in
procurement of Goods, works and Services required under the scope of the project.
On review of the DPP & PCR and as reported by the 16 ECB, it is observed that Ministry of Road
Transport and Bridges/Road Transport and Highways Division has given them the responsibility
for implementation of the project as delegated works. PIP (Projct Implementation Policy) of the
Bangladesh Army has been prepared in the light of PPA-2006 & PPR-2008 and accordingly, all
works of the project has been implemented. Own man-power of the Bangladesh Army and there
equipments has been utilized as delegated works and in some cases, contractors were also engaged
as delegated work. In each case “Rates of schedule of RHD” has been followed in awarding the
contract. In the project work, for bigger volume of works OTM have been followed, while in case
of smaller size contracts LTM has been followed.
4.2 Procurement plan as per DPP of the project: It is shown in the DPP as the “Goods
Procurement” packages, in the real sense it would be “Procurement of assests” instead of
“procurement of goods”. In the table 4.1 and 4.2 procurement plan of “Assets” and “Works” are
shown.
From the above revised procurement plan and the actual expenditure as per PCR (Article No. 3.25),
it is observed that in Inani to Shilkhali section, for acquisition of 180.5436 acres of land, expenditure
is Tk. 26684.26 lakh i.e the progress achieved in both physical and financial is 100%. Similarly, in
Shilkhali to Teknaf portion, against the target of 49.5992 acres of land, the attained physical
progress is 49.5772 acres (99.96%) and the financial progress is Tk. 1503.48 lakh which is 100%
of the target.
30
(b) Works procurement Packages: The procurement plan of the works packages as per SRDPP
is shown in table 4.2
It may be mentioned here that updated procurement plan for works contracts hasn’t been submitted
with the SRDPP.
31
4.3 Procurement of transports and equipments for the project:
44 nos of vehicle and equipments have been purchased as per PIP under the project. The data on
the procurements of the same are shown in table 4.03.
4.4 Comments/Observations:
Though the project is under Roads and Highways Department, practically the procurement
of Goods and works etc, has been done by the Bangladesh Army as delegated work, so all
procurement has been done following the PIP of the Army, however in SRDPP as
Implementing Agecny both RHD and the Bangladesh Army has been mentioned.
The procurement of “Goods” and “Works” has been done as per PIP of the Bangladesh
Army and Project was implemented using the equipments as well as man-power of the Army
Unit and the construction works were supervised by the Engineers of different level of the
Bangladesh Army.
In the procurement plan as a part of the DPP, it was not properly mentioned about the
procurement process i.e. sequential activities viz: calling tender, tender evaluation and
contract signing etc has not been mentioned. It is mentioning only that the work will be
completed as per PIP of the Bangladesh Army as delegated works. So proper comments
can’t be given here.
For further widening of the Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Project or for any similar
type of project and if it is to be implemented by the Bangladesh Army, it would be better to
do procurements works after harmonizing the PIP and PPR.

17. Opinion on maintenance & road safety of the project: Some of the opinions of the
respondents regarding road maintenance and road safety are as follows and other opinions have
been mentioned in table 5.17 of Appendix-III
Formation level of the road is presently alright, but for future it depends on behabiour of the
the sea.
No traffic police has been observed, but there are tourist police.
There is risk/threat in protection of the road, in some places where the sea is very near to
the road.
There is possibility of erosion in some portion of the shea-shore; so, permanent soluation is
needed.
Tree plantation in full length of the road, C.C Block-pitching to be done in more places,
jetty and link-road construction etc. are needed.
Because of improvement of communication, presence of tourists in tour centres (Inani,
Himchari & Teknaf) have been increased. It is necessary to create more facilities for is
tourists.
A more wide bridge is needed in place of Rezukhal Bailey Bridge at 18th km There should
be sitting arrangement at sea-shore for the tourist.
More new projects may be undertaken.
37
Communication become easier for different partients including pregnant women to get
emergency medical treatment. .
Before construction of the road, persons involved in different court cases needed to halt at
night at Coxsbazar before the date of the case fixed for. But at present it become possible to
attend the court case within a day by up & down journey.
As there are Check-post or patrol duty of Army, BGB and Police on the road, occurrence of
stealing & dacoiting and smuggling of yaba have been observed less.
The road has created better environment and enhanced the beautification of the area.
More no. of tourists are coming to Cox’s Bazar; as result earning on Hotel and Restaurant
Business have been increased
New employment in transport sector has been created.
Intrusion of saline water in low land areas has been reduced.
The road has been constructed keeping compatibility with the demand of the local people.
(c) Suggestions given by the FGD Discussants to ensure the road safety:
Adequate sign-signal to be installed in the road.
Due to absence of speed limit signs, vehicles are plying at a high speed which results threat
of accident.
Some spots are very accident-prone; for limiting the speed at turnings, rumble strips are
required.
Number of accident on the road is being increasing day by day
Ensuring of safety is necessary by bringing the whole road under the coverage of CC TV
Camera.
Lighting in the whole road length is required.
Plying of vehicles is hindered due to free movement of cows, dogs and goats on the road,
for which some times accident occurred. For that, excepting the link road area, all the length
of the road at two sides may be protected by barbed wire fencing.
5.3 Data obtained from Local Level Workshop: “Local Level Workshop” of Impact Evaluation
Study of the Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Construction Project was held on 11-03-2019 at
Upazila Conference Room under the chairmanship of Upazila Nirbahi Officer, Sadar, Cox’s Bazar.
Key Note Speaker of the Consulting Firm presented in the workshop the data obtained at field level,
invited opinions of the participants about achivements against the objectives of the project.
Presentation of Key Note Speaker and opinions of the participants are given below.
38
(a) Presentation of Chairman of the Consultants Firm & Civil Engineer of the study:
Major findings have been presented in the KII and FGD articles of this Chapter.
The growth of traffic in the road after construction of the project has been presented in the
workshop, which has been mentioned in detail in the article 5.6 of this study.
He mentioned that although the number of vehicles on the road has been increased, public
transport viz.:- mini bus, medium bus or heavy bus don’t ply in the road. Passengers usually
move on three wheeler or easy bike. Seating capacity of these vehicles is small, the electro-
mechanical system and body structure of these vehicle are not scientific; materials used in
making the body of these are not shock-resistant; if any accident occurs, then thre of damage
of passengers’ body is most.. Besides, fare of these transports is high. Sides of the body of
easy bike is open, during accident passengers are thrushed up out of vehicle.
Medium size buses (of 36 seats) as mass transports and tourist buses may be operated for
safe and comfortable journey the tourists.
The weaknesses of application of 3 “E” regulating factor of road safety to be removed to
reduced the road accident to zero level and to reduce the rate of fatalities due to road
accidents. The “E” factor comprises of:
(1) Engineering: Standard geometric design in road construction must be followed and
when the cause for accident due to design and/or construction will be identified,
immediate remedial mesures must be taken.
(2) Educational: Publicity and propaganda to be done to create awareness and to educate
the road users/passengers and the vehicles drivers to eliminate their ignorance on
relevant laws and rules-regulations.
(3) Enforcement of law: To abide by the traffic rules and regulations, strong measures are
to be taken by the law enforcing agencies and if needed, new laws are to be enacted.
39
2. Opinion of Deputy Town Planner, CoxDA:-
Presence of Tourists are increasing after the construction of Marine Drive Road.
Potentiality of Cox’s Bazar tourism city has been opened.
Planned afforestation at road sides to be done on urgent.
Appropriate action to be taken after intensive observation of the road.
The project is playing helpful role in preventing flood, land slide and calamities.
Construction of flyover by ECB or RHD from the Hotel at Kalatali beach point to Bailey
hatchery is needed to be taken into consideration.
The matter of creating awareness among the people to be converted into social movement
to reduce the rate of road accident.
Lighting has been done on the road from Darianagar to Himchari by Coxsbazar
Development Authority.
Setting of geo-bag to protect sea-shore and construction of internal link roads with Marine
Drive may be done.
Coxsbazar Development Authority has prepared Master Plan incorporating the Marine
Drive Road aiming to over-all development of Cox’s Bazar.
Permission for construction of infra-structure to be given as per Master Plan in such a way
so that tourists can observe the beauty of the sea.
40
At this stage Keynote Speaker Engr. Mohammad Jafar Ullah asked whether the road is playing
special role on fishing (collection of fishes), else it is used for transportion of fishes only?
In reply, he said some facilities has been added due to better road communication. Yet, rapid
transportion facilities of fingerlings will be much beneficial as hatcheries are situated adjacent to
the road.
Under this situation, Keynote Speaker requested to carry the fingerlings in smaller size vehilces as
per direction of 16 ECB considering their necessity in one side and real condition of road in other
side. further mentioned that as an alternative arrangements my be taken for transportation of the
fingerlings from the hatcheries by heavy trucks or medium truck/pick-up through link roads with
connected Marine Drive Road.
10. Observation given by Executive Engineer, RHD, Cox’s Bazar, about Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf
Marine Drive Road:-
Marine Drive road will play a very helpful role in extraction of sea resources i.e in the development
of Blue Economy of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Parjaton Corporation and Cox’s Bazar Development Authority must perform their
respective function in order to preserve the beauty of sea area and to increase the facilities for the
tourists.
CC TV camera may be installed at different spots reducing the security Check-posts for avoiding
any harassement or embarrassment of tourists.
Construction of any infra-structure within 300/500 meter of Marine Drive Road will not be justified.
Cox’s Bazar Development Authority must ensure that nobody is allowed to built any structure
beyond the above policy.
Tourists will be benefitted if any private sector or any relavent organisation of Bangladesh Army
takes initiative for operating the Tourists Bus Service.

11. Chief Guest of the Workshop and Project Director, Lt. Colonel Asif Mohammad Saleh, PSC
given following observations and opinion:-
Restriction has been given on movement on bus and truck at Marine Drive Road by Govt. circular
To preserve the natural environment and for the sake of sustainability of the road, plying of heavy
vehicle viz.:- Bus and truck is prohibited. But, for the tourists, small buses may be considered for
plying.
Width of the road is less. So no structure should be allowed to built in west side to protect the
characteristics of the nature and for direct watching the sea-beach sa well as the beauty of sea by the
tourists. If structures are to be built in east side, those are to be done in a planned way and at a
sufficient distance from the road.
A DPP has been submitted for the restoration of “missing link” at the start of the Marine Drive Road,
resulted due to the surge of sea-wave.
Rezukhal Bailey Bridge is a single lane bridge and it has become weaker as it is very old one. When
it will be widened as a double lane bridge then it will be possible to allow movement of heavy
tourists buses.
Connecting road may be constructed from Marine Drive Road to facilitate plying of hatchery
vehicle.
Fish market with the observation facilities at some spots may be constructed to watch the
hunting/catching of fishes in the sea.
Traffic jam is being observed regularly at Inani point. So Traffic Police should be deputed there.
Check-posts should be continued functioning for safety concern; but installation of CC TV camera
would reduce the man-power requirements.
Something of environmental-friendly may be established at the western side to enhance tourism
facilities.
Recreation park may be built at 67th km point of the Marine Drive Road.
1.7 km road from Kalatali to bailey hatchery to be reconstructed without fail.
DPP for construction of 2 (two) Visitor Centres has been submitted by this time.
Necessary action has been taken for sea-shore protective works.
12. Chairman of the Workshop & Upazila Nirbahi Officer, Cox’s Bazar Sadar, Engr. A.H.M
Mahfuzur Rahaman has given the following opinion:-
The very aim of SDG is, nobody would be left out of development; keeping importance on
future aspects of tourism city, environment-friendly and sustainable plan should be taken.
Waste mangement of tourism city Coxsbazar must be given imortance from now.
Looking into traffic management system is also needed. Due to huge on-going projects at
Moheshkhali, Coxsbazar has become a Development Hub by this time.
Establishment of Echo-tourism park at Sabrang is one of the outcomes of Marine Drive
Road Construction Project.
42
Cox’s Bazar has attracted almost 5 lakh tourists during recent holidays; though the highest
accommondation capacity of all residential hotels of is only 2 lakh. Tourists had faced
sufferings at that time due to want of seats in the residential hotels.
Steps for patrol duties of police is to be considered during tourist season and on special
holidays, so that tourists would not face any harassment at tourist spots.
Due to construction of the road, there has been improvement of safety & security situation;
facilitated to come to hospital and marketing of fishes, betel-leaves and other goods
including water-melon have become easier.
Modern waste management systems is to be ensured so that tourist can enjoy fresh/pure
environment. Awarness be developed among the local people and tourists, so that they do
not throw the food waste and polythene hither and thither of sea-beach or at road sides of
Marine Drive Road, Collection of waste product is to be done building-wise. Dumping
arrangement at proper location must be done regularly by the support of Pourasaova
transport. Initative for recycling of polythene may be taken up.
For recreation facilities of tourists, open jeep/chander gari may be allowed to run at Marine
Drive Road/sea-beach areas.
Para-afforestation may be implemented in Marine Drive Road.
Due to climate change, infra-structure to be constructed providing plinth level standard RL
as 7.50 of MSL.

5.4. Part-B: Analysis of data obtained from physical observation of structures:
5.4.1 Introduction: One of the objectives of the study on Impact Evaluation of “Cox’s Bazar-
Teknaf Marine Drive Road” is to observe the main items of works and comment on its effectiveness.
For this purpose, as per article 2.2.1 (d) of the report, the road has been inspected physically and
collected kilometer-wise data about the roads embankment & pavement, road safety measures &
roads appurtenant, culverts, bridges and sea-shore protective works as per Annexure-IVA,
Annexure-IVB & Annexure-IVC.
44
Table 5.18 shows that the deviation in item no.-3 (Rain cut) is (33.33%), in item no.-15 (a)
(Plantation) is (33.33%) and no deviation in other items.
During inspection of the road, qualitative observations on deviations are recorded; the items &
deviations with frequency are shown in table 5.19. It is notable that maximum deviation is in item
no.1.
Table-5.18: Observation of embankment & pavement:
Sl.No. (as per Flaws observed (with location) frequency

1 There are weeds in the shoulder at 35, 38 and 40 th km; So pedestrians 3
compels to walk on the pavement.
3 There are some Rain-cut at 42th km. 1
15 Some trees have been planted on the berm of the road at 40th km 1
45
5.4.3 Road safety activities & Present status of road furniture:
As per article 2.2.1 (d) of the report data collected from the field on the full length (24 km) on items
of geometric design of roads and road safety is presented in table-5.20. The table indicates that the
highest deviations is in item no.23 (Guide pillar placement) which is 33.33%; Then less deviation
is in item no.16 (Sign-signal) (29.16%) and after that less deviations is in item no. 18 (width of road
in curve) (25%).
The deviations found in observation of the road safety and road furniture with frequency are shown
in table 5.21 which shows that there would occur accident in 32nd km. But presently there was no
incidence of accident as Rumble Strip has been built at both the approaches of the culvert.
46
Table-5.21: Observation on the Road safety:
Sl.No. (as per Flaws observed (with location) frequency
check list)
16 No cautionary sign-signal at 30th km Culvert which is in curve; setting of 1
sign-signals are needed.
There has been built a culvert at middle of S-curve at 32nd km. Accident 1
would occurr there off and on recent construction of rumble strip at
bothsides stopped accident.
18 At 35th km, width of pavement in straight portion in 18 ft, while in curve 1
portion it is 20.5 ft; So, only 15% greater width. As per standard it should
be 30% greater.
19 Plantation has been done on inner side of road curve creating barrier to the 1
passing sight distance of vehicular traffic at 30th & 38th km
22 No km post at 35th km 1
22 (b) The 38 km post is partially covered with weeds. 1
23 The guide pillars provided is inadequate in culvert at 32th km 1
No guide pillar in culvert at 25th & 35th km; Wheel guards constructed but 2
were not painted.
No guide pillar in some minor curve at 30th km; Guide pillars are to be 1
installed there.
Other Observations:
There exist two sharp curves before and after the Rezukhal Bridge at 18th km. The
geometric design of both the curves haven’t been done properly; so accidents are occurring
there daily. Hence, preventive measures are to be taken including construction of rumble
strip there on an emergency basis.
5.4.4 Present status of the constructed Culverts: 26 Culverts were constructed under the project,
as per article no. 2.2.1 (a) of this report, 7 Culverts have been observed physically in the field. The
present condition of 7 culverts is given in table 5.22. It shows that deviation in item no. 32 (b)
(Railing/wheel guard painting) is 57.14%, deviation in item no.26 (Honey-comb) is 42.86% and
deviation in item no.27 (smaller span than required) is 28.17%.

The flaws and deviations those were found during data collection are given in table 5.23.
The table shows that maximum deviations is in item no. 27.
5.4.5 Present status of the constructed bridges: 9 Bridges were constructed under the project. Of
these 3 Bridges have been observed physically in the field. Followed Annexure-4B of the Report
during observation. The findings are given in table 5.24. The table indicates that the present
condition of the bridges is very good. However, there are some deviations. In item no. 5 (a) (Water
flow) deviation is 33.33% and there are no deviations in other items.
48

Of the 3 bridges river training work have not been done; hence ‘not applicable’ have been
mentioned in item no. 10. The deviation observed during inspection of the bridges have been
recorded in the checklist are given in table 5.25. It is noteworthy more deviations are found in item
no.9 (Protective works).
5.4.6 Present status of embankment and pavement of bridge approach: Data collected from
the field as per Overservation Checklist reveals that, the condition of bridge approach embankment
and pavement is seen good.
5.4.7 Road safety activities of bridge approach: Data collected from the field on items of
geometric design of roads and on road safety is presented in table-5.27. The table indicates that the
highest deviations (33.33%) is in item no. 22 (sign-signal); There is no deviations in other items.

On the otherhand, the quality of concrete strength has been found as per standard in the 38th km
culvert’s abutment, slab, railing and CC blocks, but the strength of wearing course was found 21.8
MPa instead of minimum required 25 MPa. Therefore, wearing course of 38th km culvert is not
found as per standard.

From the table 5.36 it is observed that no heavy Truck and Bus are plying in the road. Data received
from the website of RHD also shows that during the year 2017 motorized vehicles and non-
motorized vehicles on the road were 3036 and 137 respectively. So this table also shows that number
of motorized vehicles has been increased during last two years by (9555-3036) = 6519. On the other
hand the increased number of non-motorized vehicles are (215-137) = 78. Therefore total increase
of traffic per day during last two years is (9770-3173) = 6597 i.e. 208% or 104% in a year. Fig. 5.07
shows the increase of traffic (AADT) in two years .

It is observed from the traffic survey of the road that AADT have been increased by 208% in the
last 2 years. It is noticed during observation on road safety component (sign-signal) of the road at
field level that there is not sufficient sign-signal in the road. Besides, some of the curves are very
sharp, specially two curves at two ends of Rezukhal Bridge; at these curves accidents are occurring
frequently. Even, a auto-rikhshaw has fallen into accident at that curve on 19th February, 2019 in
presence of Engineers of the Consultants Firm during data collection on the spot. In this accident,
3 persons including one child of the same family were injured serverly. It has been learnt from the
local people and BGB Check-post located there that almost on every day either minor or major
accidents are occurring there. These curves are very sharp; so vehicles are thrushed out of the road.
Simplification or easing these curves are necessary to prevent the accidents on that spot. But as the
simplification process will require time so construction of Rumble Strip at both ends of the
Rezukhal Bridge is urgently needed.
Both sides of the culvert constructed at S-curve of 32nd km named Patuartek spot of Marine Drive
Road Phase-II part is revealed as accident prone spots. During crossing over the bridge, there is a
very risk of accident for all types of vehicles. Re-alignment is necessary by simplification of both
approaches of bridge in stead of S-curve of this culvert approaches. To avoid accident at this spot
one new bridge may be constructed replacing of this culvert including simplification of curves.

no need of cutting hills futher at that spot for road development. If needed, the widening of road in
sea-side must be done by carted earth collecting from distant places. However, there is no hills
closer to the roads of 2nd and 3rd phases. Yet, in furture, during construction of road at hill areas
in place of cutting the hills, construction of small or big size tunnels may be considered, as an
alternative, to preserve the environment.
5.8.2 Inclusion of the road as Regional Highway in “Road Master Plan” and regarding
responsibility of its maintenance:
Before undertaking of the Coxsbazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road for development, it was a district
road (Road No. Z-1098) and starting from Kalatali, it has connected Himchari, Inani, Shilkhali and
Teknaf. The road from Teknaf to Shahpari Dwip has been marked as Z-1099. Due to
implementation of “Coxsbazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road Construction Project” the road has been
constructed at the standard of Regional Highway which is 5.5 meter wide. In this context, the road
needs to be shown in Road Master Plan of RHD as Regional Highway and its numbering is also
required. It is seen in the road network map of Coxsbazar Road Division that the link road starting
from N1 to Coxsbazar District headquarter is R180. So, Coxsbazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road may
be marked as R190. However, RHD, is to take final decision in the matter and should inform the
matter to the Planning Commission.
The routine maintenance work and after expiring 2 years of construction, if needed, the periodic
maintenance work of Coxsbazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road should be done in time. Besides,
emergency maintenance work might be necessary at any time due to effect of sea-wave and
unforeseen sudden disaster. From the data obtained at field level, it is learnt that 16 ECB did not
hand-over any part of the road to Coxsbazar Road Division till now, although the project work of
1st phase has been completed in June, 2008 and the 2nd phases has been completed in June, 2016.
But the project work of 3rd phase has been completed in June, 2018. In general, the minimum time
of DLP of any construction work is 1 year. In that context, on principle, there is no bar to hand over
the responsibility of the road to Coxsbazar Road Division by 16 ECB of Bangladesh Army after
June, 2019.
On the other hand, it is observed that with initiative of 16 ECB of Bangladesh Army, DPP of 3
projects, namely:- (1) Reconstruction of 1.7 km road including a flyover at the disrupted spot; (2)
Widening of 23 km and reconstruction (with re-alignment) of 6 km and (3) Construction of 2
Tourists Facilities Centre at the Marine Drive Road have been submitted to Planning Commission
for approval.
So, it is evident that till now there is involvement of 16 ECB of Bangladesh Army for further
improvement of 24 km of 1st phase and 8 km out of 24 km length of 2nd phases i.e. in total 32 km
of the Marine Drive Road. In this circumstance, road from 33rd to 80th km, may be handed over to
Coxsbazar Road Division immediately after june, 2019. This will facilitate to do periodic
maintenance of the road properly.

area. has also been improved. As per data obtained from this
survey, before implementation of the project, the income
of 40.90% respondents were 10,000-15,000 taka or
above per month, but now the number of this income
group has been increased to almost 74.3% respondent.
On the contrary, before construction of the project, in
control area 20.5% of the respondents had monthly
family income of Tk. 10,000-15,000 or above; presently
that is almost 32.9%. So, the difference in increase is
more than 21.00% [(74.30-40.90) – (32.90-20.5)].
Overall achievement By analyzing the objectives and achievement stated in
this table, it reveals that the objectives of the project
have been achieved in a great extent.

Chapter Six
Analyses of data obtained from Household Beneficiary Survey
Introduction: To assess the impact of Coxsbazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road project a survey of
beneficiaries has been conducted in 24 villages of 4 Upazilas of the project area. Total 576
respondents were interviewed using structured Questionnaire (one for project area and another for
control area). Out of this, 384 were from the project area and 192 were from the control area. The
data obtained from the above are analyzed in both univariate and multi-variate process which are
furnished in this chapter.
Educational Status: Table 6.02 & figure 6.1 shows that the majority (77%) of respondents have
passed the primary level of education, it also appears from the data that 18% of the respondents
have passed SSC & HSC and 5% of them obtained graduation or above level of education.

Occupation: Table 6.03 shows that occupation of 21.20% of respondents of the project area and
17.30% respondent of the control area is business; 21.50% respondents of the project area are in
the occupation of house wife, 17.3% are from the control area are in the same occupation and 8%
unemployed respondents are in the project area, while 13.5% unemployed respondents are from the
control area.
In addition, table 6.03, 6.04 and figure 6.2 & 6.3 depict that there has been a positive change in the
occupation due to the construction of the road. Before, the implementation of the project, among
the respondents occupation of 17.30% was business, while at present respondents in business
occupation is 21.2%. And the number of unemployed respondents before the project was 17.1% in
both the areas, while after the implementation of the project, the unemployed respondents are 13.5%
in both the areas. So it appears that the road has played a positive role for reducing the rate of
unemployment in both the project area and control area.

It shows that the mean monthly family income in the project areas is higher than in the control
areas. Before the implementation of the project difference among the number of families of Tk.
10,000 and above income group of both the project and control area was (18.1+22.8) – (16.8+3.7)
= 20.4%. After the implementation of the project this difference stands at (32.2+42.1) – (20.3+12.6)
= (74.3-32.9) = 41.4%, Hence, due to the implementation of the project, the number of Tk. 10,000
and above income group family in project area become 21% (= 41.4% -20.4%) more than the
control area.
So, it reveals from the data of table 6.05 & 6.06 that the income of both project and control area
people have been increased due to the implementation of the project.
6.2 Present condition of the road and its uses by all including tourists:
This section presents the respondents view on the present condition of road, about use of road,

cyclone shelter in the locality. Of this 75% respondents 21.3% said, the shelters are not adequate;
i.e., 16% of the total respondents replied that it is not sufficient It is also evident that some of the
respondents opined that the present condition of these cyclone shelters are not good; require repair
works and replacement of doors & windows.
6.3 Adequacy of the bridge-culvert and condition of possible water-logging in the project area:
In response to the separate questions regarding the sufficiency of bridge, culverts and on water-
logging situation, 52% respondents of the project area expressed their views about the sufficiency
of bridges, 31% of respondent expressed their view about the sufficiency of culverts and about 17%
respondents informed about presence of water logging problem. So, from the above data it indicates
that the positive impact of the project is evident and it also made clear that due to the construction
of this road, there is no problem in the flow of water and the water-logging problem is not much
discernible.

(b) Perceptions of respondents on mode of traffic plying on the road: To assess the present and
previous vehicle mode running on the road, open-ended question was asked to project area’s
respondents. The following fig 6.11 and 6.12 show the present and previous modes if vehicles.
These figure also show that CNG auto-rickshaw, easy-bikes, micro-buses and motor cars are plying
more in the road. The opinion of the respondents clearly indicate that the traffic mode in the project
area has significantly improved compared to the previous.

SWOT Analysis
Introduction: On analysis of data obtained from physical observation as well as field test results,
KII of the stakeholders, FGD, Local Level Workshop and Household Beneficiaries Survey, the
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of the project is out-lined below.
7.1 Strengths of the project:
On construction of the road beside the longest sea-beach of the world, it become accessible,
communication become easier and time-saving due to which a new door for flourishment
of tourism has been opened which is the main strength of the project
Due to establishment of communication in the sea-beach, over-all socio-economic activities
including tourism related infra-structure development enhanced, resulting to expansion of
trade & commerce. This is also the strength of the project.
To enjoy the heavenly beauty of the world’s longest sea-beach, the presence of the local and
foreign tourists have been increased several times compared to the previous numbers, it is
evidently a strength of the project.
The road is playing vital role for preventing damage due to the effect of tidal bore and also
saving the cultivable land from the salinity effect from sea-water, these are strength of the
project.
The project is playing catalytic role for disaster management of the coastal belt from
Coxsbazar to Teknaf, this is also the strength of the project.
72
7.3 Opportunities created due to the implementation of the project:
The project has unveiled the opportunities to the tourist to see directly the sea-beach and
watching the catching of fishes at the sea.
Due to huge increase in gathering of tourists, the tourism industry has been flourished and
created huge opportunity of jobs and there is a hope that in future tourism will further be
flourished.
Due to construction of new infra-structures for the tourists, huge employments have been
created in civil works.
Small industries, tourism industry and trades & commerce related with improvement of
communication have been expanded.
Construction of Marine Drive Road from Coxsbazar to Teknaf has facilitated BEZA to
undertake an Echo-park project at Sabrang (near Teknaf)

Chapter Eight
Over-all observation
Introduction: The findings through the Qualitative as well as Quantitative Methods of Data
Collection were mentioned in the related chapters. Th extract of those observation alongwith some
other derived observations are outlined in this chapter.
74
(b) Findings from the KII:
According to the opinion of 100% respondent, students can easily go to the then educational
institution of district headquarter from Ukhiya and Teknaf using this newly constructed
road, facilities for the health service recipients has been increased, specially it has become
easier for the women and children to go to the health service centres. Besides, service
holders can directly go to the Zila Sadar and after office work they can come back to their
home.
Almost 90% of the respondents have given opinion that, the hotel-restaurant and tourism
friendly other trade centres have been established at road sides and 100% respondents
opined that tourism industry related commercial centres have also been developed.
Almost 57% respondents informed that constructed road, bridge and culverts are in good
condition and they are not facing problem in using these.
About 31% respondent told that due to the proximity of some area to the sea, CC blocks
and geo-tex bag those were used to save the sea-shore it is not sufficient. Bangladesh Army
is doing protective work regularly, but parmanents measures in that location should be
taken.
Almost 39% respondent said that 30-40 minutes time is being saved due to road construction
and according to opinions of about 31% respondent 40-60 minutes time is being saved.
Almost 98% respondents informed that there has been no adverse impact on bio-diversity
of beach area due to road construction. But one respondent expressed his view that govt.
establishment constructed hither and thither are not invironment-friendly, On the other hand
100% respondents informed that there has been no negative impact on the geo-feature of
sea-beach due to construction of the road.
About 20% responents informed that prevailing restriction on movement of heavy vehicle
for controlling Axle load should be continued for the safe-guard of the road. 4% respondent
said only the vehicle related to tourism should be allowed for movement and almost 76%
respondent told that they don’t know about Axle Load.
As per opinion of almost 37% respondent, there is no sufficient sign-signal on the road,
according to opinion of 29% respondent protective work of sea side has been done well, but
regular monitoring is needed. 14% respondent said, there is a risk in saving the protective
work of sea-shore, as the road is very near to the sea.
(c) Findings from FGD:
(i) Socio-economic and on completed works:
Almost 1-1.5 hour time is being saved compared to previous time for going to Coxsbazar
from Teknaf then earlier.
Students can make up & down journey to Cox’s Bazar within a day to attend class in Cox’s
Bazar directly from Teknaf. So, they are not required to wait in hostel or mess.
Accessibility of different patients including pregnant women to get emergency medical
treatment has become easier.
The road has created better environment and enhanced the beautification of the area.
New employments in transport sector have been created.
Some part of the road are very close to sea and as such, vulnerable to the threat of sea-
erosion.
Regular inspection of protective work of the road should be done, specially in rainy season.
Permanent measures of protective work should be taken to increase the sustainability of the
road.
75
At Teknaf mentionable opportunity of new employment has yet been created.
There is no good tourists centre in Teknaf; new Recreational Centre is needed.
The existing tourist centres of Teknaf should be modernized.
It would be better if the level of the road could be made higher.
No shops or house has been constructed at road sides.
76
Open jeep/locally made non-covered vehicle (Chander gari) may be allowed to ply in
Marine Drive Road/sea-brach for easy sight-seeing by the tourists.
In stead of narrow Rezukhal Bailey Bridge at 18th km of 1st Phase project, a double-lane
permanent bridge is required to be constructed.
(e) Findings from the physical observation of structures: The findings from the inspection of
structures, technical data collection and field testing were described in Chapter Five. A few of the
findings are mentioned below.
(i) Observation on road embankment and pavement:
As per data obtained practically in the field through engineering checklist for physical
inspection, it is observed that the condition of road embankment and pavement is
comparatively “Good”, excepting a few flaws and deviations in some items. Out of the 24
km length, rain-cuts were formed in shoulders or slopes in different spots of 33% (±) length.
Regarding plantation it has been observed that only wood trees were planted though it is
expected that 3 types of trees viz: - wood trees, fruit bearing trees and medicinal trees would
be planted. Planting of trees are found visible in more or less 4 km only.
(ii) Observation on road-safety activities and on road furniture:
Of the 24km (from 25th km to 48th km) road inspected in detail, it was found that in 17 km
road length, mandatory, cautionary and informative sign-signals are in-adequate in some
spots in remaining 7 km length, no sign-signals were observed.
Though there were curves in the road lengths from 25th to 48th km, those were not observed
to be so critical. But, the inner sides of the curves were not been built wider, which was
required to be done to attain technical and geometric standard.
In inner-sides of two curves of the portion of the road from 25th to 48th km, due to
obstruction created by trees and weeds, the vehicle drivers are facing obstacle within their
eye-sight limit. In remaining portion no obstruction was seen.
Of the above road section, there is an accident-prone spot at 32nd km where there is a culvert
at the s-curve. Though Rumble Strip has been build at both end approaches, but its locations
are not proper. It should be built at far-more distance than the present location. Due to the
present location of the Rumble Strip, the vehicle drivers don’t get time to be aware of the
curve or don’t get braking distance to control the vehicle. Mentionable that, cautionary and
informative sign-signals are smaller than standard; so those are not visible.
In 35th km, kilometer posts were’not built and as the other built kilometer posts weren’t
properly painted; these aren’t visible from the running vehicles.
Required no. of guide-pillars have not been installed in the bridge or culvert approaches and
in curves. Besides, wheel guards of the culverts were nither painted nor any reflecting sheets
were stuk with the wheel guard.
77
However, under one bridge there is not enough flow of water required for navigation. In
nither of the 3 bridges River Training work has been done.
In approaches of Inani Bridge, protective work has been done in less length than
requirements. The whole approach was to be protected. In approaches of Chato Khal at 26th
km and Mon Khali bridge at 38th, morter-joint filling of some blocks have been loosened
and some blocks have been loosend.
Narrow and weak Rezukhal Bailey Bridge at 18th km of 1st phase project, is not tit for
passing of heavy vehicle. As it is single lane, traffic-jam is created in bridge approach.
(v) Observation of Sea-shore protective works: The findings of data on inspection of 1227 meter
(1.227 km) sea shore protective works are briefed as below:
Protective works haven’t been done upto required distance from the road to sea-shore (50%
±).
The constructed geo-tex bag/concrete blocks as protective works are damaged by the effect
of sea-wave (50% ±).
Protective work done by tetrapods are not proper or upto the requirements (50% ±).
Protective work done by concrete block did not seem to be fruitful and did not sustain well
(50% ±).
Protecive work done using geo-textile was seen not in proper sustained condition (50% ±).
(vi) Testing for qualitative standard of Bridges and Culverts construction works:
“Non-destructive Schmidt Hammer Test” has been done for compressive strength of
concrete of Inani bridge and Monkhali bridge. The results of both the bridges were found to
be more than required as mentioned in drawing. Hence, it reveals that qualitative standard
have been ensured in both the bridges.
The concrete strength of abutment, slab, wearing course, railing and CC blocks of culverts
at 27th and 30th km was found to be as per standard. On the otherhand, concrete strength of
abutment, slab, railing and CC blocks of culvert at 38th km was found as per standard. But
concrete strength of wearing course of the same culvert was found 21.8 MPa instead of
minimum standard 25 MPa. However, considering the wear and tear of the surface due to
plying of vehicular traffic for about 3 years, this is tolerable. But wearing course should be
over-layed immediately.
(vii) AADT of the project road as per Traffic Survey:
Traffic Survey data of the project road shows that no heavy truck and large size bus ply on
the road.
The number of motorized vehicles have been increased to 9555 in the last 2 years, which
was previously 3036 per day.
The number non-motorized vehicle increased to 215 from previous 137 numbers per day.
So, combined AADT of both motorized and non-motorized vehicles have been increased
from 3173 to 9770 in the last two years. So, the calculated traffic growth is 104% per year.
(f) Safe-guard of Sea-beach, environment and bio-diversity:
(i) Simon Hotel near disrupted spot of the road:- In the field it is observed that multi-storied
Simon Hotel has been built close to the alignment of the road and near the sea-shore occupying the
beach area, a small distance from Kalatali of the 1st phase length of the project. Communication
from Kalatali to Bailey Hatchery (1.70 km) has been cut-off due to breach of the road, just after
78
Simon Hotel. So, as an alternative, vehicles are using the Coxsbazar Pourashava road from Dolphin
crossing to Bailey Hatchery. During inspection, it was also observed that the road from Kalatali
crossing to Simon Hotel has been repaired; But no arrangement, even temporary, has been taken
for passing of vehicle in the disrupted spot
It is to be mentioned here that due to very small width of beach in front of Simon Hotel, it is not
easy to construct bridge or any reconstruction work of road there on technical grounds. Due to the
critical location of the Simon, Whatever, Bridge or road to be constructed there, Hydrological and
Morphological Study is a must. It couldn’t be known, when and on whose approval Simon Hotel
has been built in such a location. So, Coxsbazar Development Authority and other related authority
should be watchful so that any structures so close to the sea-beach can’t be constructed in future.
(ii) Protection of Bio-diversity, viz. Coral Reef: Coral Reef supports different sets of marine
species and play a vital role in feeding and sheltering these species as well as sheltering the offspring
of large fish species until they can fend for themselves. Coral Reef profects shore-lines from the
storms, on the other hands climate change is causing acidifications, which results in a decrease in
pH that blanches and kill coral reef. Similarly due to dredging and sedimentation on the river beds
leads to destruction of reef habitat. Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road is constructed in the
east coast line of the Bay of Bengal. So far it is learnt, there is no Coral Reef near the alignment of
the road. So use of coral reef in construction of the road is not an usual case. But during the
construction of the protective work, it has reported in a newspaper that Coral Reefs were disturbed.
So, for prevervation of Bio diversity of the sea-shore area as well as to protect the Coral Reef,
Provision for preventive measures to be taken during the preparation and approval of the project.
Moreover, that should be included such clause in the tender document that no construction materials
can be collected or used damaging the bio-diversity.
(iii) Protection of tortoise, crabs etc: For protecting breeding procces of different species like
tortoise, crabs etc. preventing measures to be taken, so that there natural breeding process is not
hampered during construction of a project like Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Project. So,
hotspots for living and breeding of tortoise and crabs are to be identified. The spots to be preserved
with the co-operation of local public representatives and the law-enforcing agencies. From the main
components of the project, it is clear that there hasn’t constructed any sluice gate under the project.
So, it has not been created any obstruction for movement of tortoise and crabs. But it couldn’t be
known what action has been taken for ensuring natural breeding and movement of the tortoise and
crabs in the project area. During preparation of the project, environment and bio-diversity issues to
be studied and accordingly, for the project implementation, there should be the ensuring terms and
conditions so to be provided in the contracts of the construction contractors, so that they do not
damage or disturb the breeding hotspot or movement of the tortoise and crabs. That’s why work
should not be done at night in the hotspot.
(g) Special observation: Sea can be observed from all through the length of Marine Drive Road
except only 5 km road. This 5 km road is from Shampan Beach Resort (after Himchari) to Rezukhal
Bridge, where there is trees and homsteads in the sea-side of the road and sea-shore is at a good
distance form the road. However, though in this portion sea can’t be seen fully, yet in between gaps
of the trees, sea is visible.
As per direction of the circular from the Govt. no heavy vehicles can ply through this road and from
the traffic servey, it is evident that light vehicles (viz:- small truck, medium bus, microbus, pickup,
car, auto-rickshaw, motor cycle, bi-cycle etc.) ply on the road.

Chapter Nine
Recommendation and Conclusion
9.1 Recommendations:
To get long term and sustainable out-come of the objectives for which Coxsbazar Teknaf Marine
Drive Road, the world’s longest sea-beach road has been constructed, following are the
recommendations:-
1. For restoration of disrupted communication between Kalatali to Bailey Hatchery of the 1st phase
portion of Marine Drive Road, in the breached spot and in beach at grade but of safe height,
sustainable road to be constructed having appropriate robust design with protective works, on the
basis of Hydro-morphological Study Report, to ensure the trouble-free movement of the tourists
[Ref: article 5.3 & 8.1 (d)];
2. To create facilities for safe and comfortable journey of general passenger as well as tourist,mass
transports like small or medium capacity buses/tourist buses, tourists smart service by BRTC or by
private entrepreneurs may be operated. It may be implemented on PPP basis [Ref: article 5.3 & 8.1
(d)];
3. It will not be rights, at all to allow construction of any structure on the sea-side of the Marine
Drive Road for protecting the beauty and also construction of structures on the otherside (country
side) at safe distance may be allowed on prior permission of Coxsbazar Development Authority
(CoxDA) and RHD. To ensure this CoxDA, RHD, Coxsbazar District and Upazila Administration
and Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation to be watchful so that none can build structure without
permission. In this regard, respective Ministry may take steps to follow the Master Plan prepared
by CoxDA. [Ref: article 5.3 & 8.1 (d)];
4. Instead of narrow Rezukhal Bailey Bridge at 18th km of 1st phase project a double-lane
permanent bridge having aesthetically beautiful design to be built. Besides, to prevent accident at
culvert of 32nd km which was built in a S-curve, a new small bridge replacing the culvert with
approaches at both ends to be constructed there. The approaches are to be eased on re-alignment.
RTHD of MRTB may take necessary action in this regard [Ref: article 5.3, 5.7 & 8.1 (d)];
5. Forest Department may take up social afforestation program in bothside of the Marine Drive
Road in a very planned way upholding the characteristics of sea-coastal forest as well as mountain
forest. Design of the afforestation project ought be done by engaging Consultant Firm. But, for
utmost appropriateness advice of the “Specialist Panel of Experts” to be incorporated in design. The
plantation can’t be done continuously in the beach, plantation to be done keeping intermittent gap
(at alternate interval), so that tourists can clearly see the sea from the road [Ref: article 5.3 (b) 1,2];
6. The road has been built in almost parallel to the sea-shore. The Sea-beach is one of the best tourist
flourished area of the country. All over the year local and foreign tourists come to this area.
Following safety measures are to be done for easy, safe and trouble-free movement of the tourists:
(a) Installation of adequate sign-signals in the road, construction of Rumble Strip as speed
calming device in accident-prone spots, setting speed limit signs, zebra-crossing for
pedestrains, ear marking parking area beside the road, construction of required no. of Bus-
bays for ensuring safety of passengers during stepping up and down from the vehicles;
(b) Required no. of sign-signals to be installed in bridge & culvert approaches, reflectory sheets
to be stuck, guide post to be installed construction of shoulder as per standard width to be
ensured, standard proportion slope of the embankment to be ensured, the bridges & culvert
80
approaches are to be kept visible clearing the jungles and size of the sign-signals to be made
as per RHD standard size;
(c) As the road is very close to the sea-shore, for preventing erosion in the vulnerable spots
measures, e.g: placement of Tetrapods, Geo-Tex bages etc. to be done and Tourist Police to
be engaged for ensuring security of the tourists.
RTHD through 16ECB or RHD, may take the above steps [Ref: article 5.3 and 8.1 (d & e)];
7. Mini-tourists Centre comprising Tourist Restaurant, Hotel-motel, Resort, Observation Tower
having small height for enjoying fish catching etc. may be built at an internal of 8-10 kilometer
(minimum) in a planned manner. In no way, permission for ribbon development should be allowed
and the proprosed Tourist Centre should be built in East side (Country side) of the road making
approach road to the proposed spot. Such provision should be kept in the Master Plan that is being
prepared by the Coxsbazar Development Authority (CoxDA) [Ref: article 5.3 & 8.1 (d)];
8. The existing tourist spots at Himchari and Inani may be improved by construction of required
no. of Restaurant, Refreshment House and Rest House, car parking space for the tourist and Bus-
Bays for facilitating easy movement of Beach-car etc. In addition, similar Tourists Facility Centres
may be constructed selecting two more spots, viz:- Patuartech and Shamlapur of the Inani to Teknaf
section of the road [Ref: article 5.3];
9. Considering the requirements, street light may be installed in a few selected place, but not
althrough the length. There should be provision of control room and intermediate sub-control room
so that electricity supply may be shut down during moon-lit night, so that tourist may enjoy natural
heavenly beauty of the beach sea. [Ref. article 5.3 & 8.1 (d & e)];
10. For safety enhancement and for communication facilities at night, lighting may be provided by
solar panel [Ref: article 5.2 (a) and 5.3 (b) 2]
11. From the Kalatali at Coxsbazar to Inani of the Marine Drive Road, there is 40 Hatchery. The
existing roads of LGED which have link/connection with Marine Drive Road may be developed
upto a standard so that truck/pick-up-van etc. can ply over these link roads. Besides, all the
concerned officials and stakeholders, on discussion, may take decision on the type of vehicles that
will be allowed to ply on the Marine Drive Road [Ref: article 5.3 & 8.1 (c & d)];
12. Bangladesh Fisheries Development Corporation and Fisheries Department may take initiative
to establish a Fish Landing station at Shamlapur Bazar of 80 km long sea-beach and to make a
Recreation Spot for seeing & enjoying the catching of sea-fishes in the Bay of Bengal, for the
development of Fish Industry. RTHD may take decision in this regard arranging inter ministerial
meeting with Ministry of Fisheries and Livestocks [Ref: article 11 of 5.3 (b)];
13.The documents related to land acquisition, viz:- acquisition plan, gazette notification, possession
certificates etc. are to be preserved in 16 ECB office and Coxsbazar Road Division. The mutation
of the acquired land to be immediately done in favour of the RHD [Ref article 3.6];
14. RTHD should collect information about present status of the money disbursed to the D.C for
aand acquisition for the project as regards how much payment has been made to the affected person,
how much couldn’t yet be paid and how much money can’t be paid in near future or at all. On the
basis of this statistics, policy of the Govt. may be determined for future project [Ref: article 3.3, 3.5
& 3.6];
15. Since the project has been constructed by ECB of the Bangladesh Army, so as per PIP of the
Army, upto DLP of the project i.e. upto June, 2019, the project road should be maintained by 16
ECB. On the other hand, there is involvement of 16 ECB in development of 1st phase (24 km) and
81
8 km of the 2nd phase out of 24 km. Hence, excepting the 1st 32 km from 33rd to 80th km of the
road may be handed over to Coxsbazar Road Division immediately so that routine and periodic
maintainance of this road length can be done well. For allowing plying of heavy vehicle in future,
specially to improve the road as National Highway with 4 lane, the Load Bearing Capacity of the
road to be increased [Ref: article 5.8.2];
16. The beauty of the Kalatali sea-beah area has been badly affected due to construction of Simon
Hotel in the sea-beach near to Kalatali. It has also created complexity in reconstruction of disrupted
road from Simon Hotel to Bailey Hatchery. In future, all concerned including CoxDA shall have to
be watchful l so that none can built any structure so close to sea-beach [Ref: article 8.1 (h)]:
17. Bio-diversity management program including provision in the tender terms & conditions that
Sea Corals can’t be used in road construction work, should be ensured for protecting the balance of
Marine Bio-diversity [Ref: article 8.1 (g)];
18. In future, during project preparation, the provision for implementation of the Environment and
Bio-diversity Management Program to be ensured so that during construction or post-construction
period, breeding and life cycle process of a broad set of marine species including tortoise and crabs
are not hampered. To achieve this, the matter to be included in the tender conditions of the work
[Ref: article 6.3 (f)];
19. CoxDA and Bangladesh Parjaton Corporation may prepare Policy Guidline for Hawkers so that
they operate their business maintaining discipline and tourist-frindly environment in different spots
of Marine Drive Road and
20. The existing Cyclone Shelters situated near the Marine Drive Road are not in useable condition
during tidal bore or any other sudden disaster. So, these Shelters are required to be repaired and
maintained regularly to make useable during disaster [Ref: article 6.3 (i)].
9.2 Conclusion:
Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road Construction Project has been implemented for socio-
economic and military strategic development as well as for rapid growth of the tourism industry of
the country. Taking up of the project by the Implementing Agency including Banglades Army,
Administrative Division/Ministry and approval of the consecutive 3 (three) phases of the project by
ECNEC under the recommendation of the Planning Commision, in turn, the Ministry of Planning
is a very commendable gesture.
By implementation of the project, accessibility of the tourist by road has been ensured to enjoy the
heavenly scenic beauty of the world’s longest and coninuous sea-beach. Due to the construction of
the Marine Drive Road, new tourist infra-structures have been developed and flow of tourists to
Coxsbazar have been increased by multiple times. As a result, huge opportunities for employment
have been created. It is mentionable, that BEZA has already started preliminary works for
construction of a large size Echo-park at Sabrang. It will accelerate the expansion of tourism
industry and create new employment opportunities.
For further development of the Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive Road and for post-construction
maintenance of the road, plan and program to be taken up. Bangladesh Army, RHD, RTHD and all
relevant Agency/Authority, Corporation and Local Administration may taken respective steps for
implementation of the recommendations as well as on the basis of the observations of this study
