According to ADB website, the SASEC Chittagong -Cox's Bazar Railway Project, Phase 1 will support the government of Bangladesh in constructing the new, 102 kilometers (km) Dohazari Cox's Bazar section of the Chittagong Cox's Bazar railway corridor in southeastern Bangladesh. The government is upgrading the 47 km section Chittagong Dohazari with its own funds. The project will also strengthen the capacity of the railway sector in project management and implementation. By connecting the Cox's Bazar district to Bangladesh's railway network, the project will not only boost the national economy through further development of Cox's Bazar into a major tourist destination, but also facilitate access for the population and products to subregional markets and trade. The Chittagong Cox's Bazar railway corridor is part of the Trans-Asia Railway network. The project has been endorsed by the SASEC trade facilitation and transport working group meeting held in Tokyo on 26 November 2015.
