Before 1971, Narayanganj Municipality constructed this road. There are two bus services through this route namely Shitalakshya Paribahan and Duranto Service.[3] Adamjee Export Processing Zone is located near this highway. Dhaka–Chittagong and Dhaka–Sylhet Highways can be accessed through this road.[2] The road was closed in June 2020 to construct a box channel connecting the Shitalakshya River as part of the DND dam project. After the construction, Narayanganj–Demra road was opened for traffic in March 2021.[4]
