On 28 April, traffic movement on Airport Road was also restricted for seven hours till 29 April morning because of the construction works.
Before that on 28 March, authorities published a notification stating traffic movement on Airport Road was restricted for seven hours from 31 March to 24 June owing to the construction work.
More than 70% of the construction work has been completed on the third terminal till March this year, according to the CAAB sources.
Officials say the soft launch of the much-awaited terminal is expected to be within October this year.
Once the construction is completed, the terminal can serve twice the number of passengers that Dhaka Airport is handling currently, officials said.
