[2] In 2016,[3] work began on the Dhaka–Bhanga section of the National Highway 8 to transform it into an expressway, which was scheduled to be completed by 2019.

As part of the conversion project, plans were made to construct one of the expressway's three road interchanges at Bhanga in Faridpur district.

[7] On 6 June 2023,[8] the West Zone Power Distribution Company disconnected the electricity connection of the interchange due to non-payment of a bill of ৳3.1 million by the Road Transport and Highways Division.

The Road Transport and Highways Division claimed that they didn’t have the fund to pay electricity bill.

Due to the lack of electricity, the lampposts at the interchange were not illuminated and criminal activities increased[9] and tourists decreased.
