Relief soon near Avishikta crossing
The widening of a stretch of EM Bypass near the Avishikta crossing is nearly complete and cars will be running on the widened portion in about 10 days, a senior official of the Calcutta Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA), the custodian of EM Bypass, has said.
Twenty-five metres have been widened on the western side and 12 metres on the eastern side.
The widened stretch, which runs over a canal, will handle a lot of traffic soon after it is opened as the Avishikta crossing would be closed for construction of the New Garia-Airport Metro tracks, said an officer of Calcutta police’s traffic department.
