Summary:
Kolkata: The Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA) has already prepared the DPR for the proposed flyover from Metropolitan crossing at EM Bypass to New Town. Once completed, the flyover will cut down the travel time from Metropolitan to New Town. The 6-km flyover has been conceived as an alternative to Chingrighata flyover, which according to experts should be dismantled as itis beyond bounds for long term repair. Regulating the movement of traffic will be a major challenge during the construction of the proposed flyover. Thus, the KMDA has planned to keep the Chingrighata flyover operational till the new flyover is completed..
