The N1 or Dhaka–Chittagong Highway is the main transportation artery of Bangladesh, connecting the capital city of Dhaka and the southern port city of Chittagong.[citation needed] Approximately 465 kilometres (289 miles) in length, the highway starts at Jatrabari in Dhaka and ends at Teknaf in Cox's Bazar.[2][3][4] The highway is known along certain stretches as the Chittagong–Cox's Bazar Highway[5] and the Cox's Bazar–Teknaf Highway.[6]

Currently four lanes with an eight-lane expansion underway, the N1 is the busiest road in the country and a top development priority.[2]
