Summary:
Kolkata: The State government has floated a tender to construct the new Talla Bridge which will be cable-stayed and made in four-lane. Talla Bridge which connects the city with North 24-Parganas, had been declared as "most vulnerable" and movement of heavy vehicles were restricted on it. It was learnt that both state PWD and the Railways would soon start demolishing the bridge. The construction of the new bridge would be started after the existing bridge is razed to the ground. The PWD had initially proposed a bowstring design for the bridge as the construction of it is less costly than the cable-stayed one..
