Airport Road (Bengali: বিমানবন্দর সড়ক), also known as Tongi Division Road, a part of the Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway (N3), is an 8-lane major artery road in Dhaka, that connects Dhaka city, with the Shahjalal International Airport.[1] It is also the main artery that connects Dhaka with the northern suburb of Uttara and the only road connection between Dhaka and northern Districts of Bangladesh.[2] Traffic is fairly smooth throughout the road, due to flyovers and interchanges.[3]
The road has a reputation for being haunted as a lady haunts the road at night and car accidents supposedly happens.

The road was built as a highway to facilitate movement with northern districts of Bangladesh. The 8-lane highway (4 lanes on each side)[4] is one of the best maintained roads in Bangladesh,[5] It has a divider; however it doesn't have a shoulder for emergency and breakdown.
