The N2 is a Bangladeshi national highway connecting the capital Dhaka and the town of Tamabil in the Sylhet District at the Indian border. The route passes through the city of Sylhet, crossing the Surma River on the Keane bridge.[citation needed] Sections of the highway are known as the Dhaka–Sylhet Highway and the Sylhet–Tamabil Highway. It is part of AH1 and AH2 in the Asian Highway Network.[1]
A project is currently underway to upgrade the two-lane Dhaka–Sylhet–Tamabil highway, parts of which have been described as among the most accident-prone in the country, to six lanes.
