Urban planners and bridge engineers have questioned Lalbazar’s decision to have only one-way traffic movement on the Lockgate flyover as part of the Tallah bridge traffic diversion plan.
Two-way traffic movement is possible with restricted speed, they said. Police cannot be planners. For any traffic diversion within urban limits the priority should be on how fast people can reach home, according to them.
The Lockgate flyover is 6.09m (around 19.9ft) wide, some engineers told Metro on Wednesday. Some said it was 6.6m (about 21.6ft).
