Sonargaon Janapath is a street that joins House Building with Ashulia embankment[1] situated in Uttara, Dhaka.[2] It is a four-lane street.[3]

This road passes between Sectors 8, 9, 11, 13 and 12[note 1] and merges with Mirpur Road in the west through Artist Quamrul Hassan Road.[6] Its Sector 11 intersection is said to be the gateway to the growing area in the west of Uttara.[7]

Due to illegal encroachment from Sector 11 intersection to rubbish's intersection, the street has become narrow, causing difficulty in movement of vehicles and pedestrians.[8]

In 2019, the Dhaka North City Corporation authority conducted an official eviction drive on the road.[9]
