Vidyasagar Setu will remain shut to traffic for six hours from 8am to 2pm on Sunday to let engineers assess the structure, said officials of the Hooghly River Bridge Commissioners (HRBC).
Vehicles heading towards the bridge from Alipore will be diverted from Turf View towards the Hastings intersection. The vehicles will then be allowed to move down St George’s Road and Strand Road.
Vehicles headed towards Vidyasagar Setu from Red Road will be diverted to Hastings for onward movement towards Strand Road along St George’s Gate.
Those headed for Alipore or AJC Bose Road have to take a right turn from the Hastings intersection since all ramps leading to the bridge will remain shut for those six hours.
