Two new bridges are being built over Tolly’s Nullah to ease traffic on Tollygunge bridge and Durgapur bridge, mayor Firhad Hakim said on Wednesday.
Traffic on the two existing bridges has increased manifold since the collapse of the Majerhat bridge in September.
The bridges being built will help commuters from Behala and New Alipore, giving them more travel options, and also distribute the traffic among the four routes, an engineer of the Calcutta Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) said.
