Shaheed Wasim Akram Flyover^[1] (Bengali: শহীদ ওয়াসিম আকরাম উড়ালসড়ক), or commonly known as Chittagong Elevated Expressway (Bengali: চট্টগ্রাম এলিভেটেড এক্সপ্রেসওয়ে), is Bangladesh's second elevated expressway project, which connects the Shah Amanat International Airport with Lalkhan Bazaar.^[2] Its total length is 16 km (9.9 mi)(28.5 km with the connecting ramps). It opened for a trial run in August 2024. From January 2025, Chittagong Development Authority (CDA) started collecting the toll.^[1]

The Max-Ranken Joint Venture has entered contract with Chittagong Development Authority for building the Chittagong Elevated Expressway.^[3]

The expressway was initially named after former Chittagong Mayor A. B. M. Mohiuddin Chowdhury. In January 2025, the name was changed to "Shaheed Wasim Akram Flyover" after Wasim Akram, a student killed in the 2024 July massacre in Chattogram.^[1]
