State government has decided to conduct a traffic survey to find out whether a foot overbridge or an underpass can be built near the RG Kar Medical College on RG Kar Road that is now experiencing heavy vehicular load following the closure of Tallah bridge to heavy vehicles.
Since the closure of Tallah bridge to buses and mini-buses, RG Kar Road has witnessed a sudden surge in the number of vehicles that are either headed for Dunlop or Jessore Road. Despite police deployment, what has contributed to the mess is heavy pedestrian crossover near RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
