Location

Bijoy Sarani (Bengali: বিজয় সরণি, romanised: Bijoy Shoroni) is an elevated metro station of the Dhaka Metro's MRT Line 6. This station is located in the area of Tejgaon Thana. The station began its service on 13 December 2023.

History

The proposed station at Bijoy Sarani was to be built in front of the Bangabandhu Military Museum, but due to the objection of the Bangladesh Air Force in 2011, it was planned to be built near the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.

It was constructed under "Package CP-03". The notification of application for construction of raised bridges for stations and railways was published on 30 June 2015 and the last date for submission of applications was 9 September 2015. The Italian-Thai Development Public Company Limited received the work contract for "Package CP-03". The agreement was signed in a ceremony on 3 May 2017, and construction work started on 2 August 2017. The station will be opened to the public in December 2023.
