The urban development department has decided to finish by June the demolition of the Vivekananda Road flyover, a part of which collapsed in March 2016 killing 26 people, officials said.
KMDA engineers who are supervising the demolition said the agency dismantling the structure had been told to finish work by June.
“The company hired for the demolition has been asked to wrap up work by June so a major part of central Kolkata’s business district becomes free for traffic,” said a senior KMDA official.
“We don’t want to stretch this work till the onset of the monsoon, when things can become challenging.”
