Kolkata: Extension of Ultadanga foot overbridge, two new ramps proposed to ease flow of traffic

Kolkata Traffic Police has proposed an extension of the existing Ultadanga Foot Over Bridge to Ultadanga Railway Station, along with the construction of two new ramps on the both flanks of Ultadanga Main Road.

The proposal has been mooted keeping in mind the pedestrian movement from Ultadanga Main Road, adjacent to Ultadanga Railway Station, to Basanti Colony near Ultadanga Underpass. The Traffic department recently wrote to the divisional railway manager of Eastern Railways, inviting the railway authorities to a joint inspection of the site. According to the Traffic department, the extension would also benefit railway passengers.
