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