The government will start collecting tolls from vehicles using Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Expressway on the Dhaka-Mawa-Bhanga route from July 1.
A medium-sized truck would have to pay Tk 550 for using the 55km expressway from Dhaka’s Postagola Bridge to Faridpur’s Bhanga in line with the interim rate of Tk 10 per km as the base toll.
The Road Transport and Highways Division made the announcement on Monday.
Tolls for motorcycles, small and large vehicles will be fixed by Thursday, said Road Transport and Highways Secretary ABM Amin Ullah Nuri.
"The toll may increase for some vehicles. It's likely to decrease for small cars."
The authorities will finalise the tolls following the Toll Policy 2014, according to the notice.
