New Flyover

Ultadanga bypass flyover

Another feather is added in the Buddha’s Cap. Ultadanga bypass Flyover which connects VIP Road to EM Bypass and vice versa. Built in less than two years with cost of 68 crores. Its length is only 1.29Km but its use will be enormous especially during rainy season. Ultadanga was a nightmare for going to and coming from Airport during rainy season. Already there  was a short flyover for one way traffic from VIP road to EM Bypass which was also useful for the Salt Lake residents and those who were travelling through EM Bypass to other parts of the city. But being it one way, public was in trouble to move through congested Ultadanga crossings. Some how Government, this time felt its necessity and importance and acted quickly. The short flyover can be useful for  entering into Salt Lake  and also for taking the EM Bypass. But here one has to cross two to three traffic signals before coming to the point where the new flyover  touches the EM Bypass. Naturally this short Flyover will  now be useful for the Salt Lake residents only. Thanks to the Government for all out efforts to complete it in a very short time. The Flyover came to reality in a less than two years time and now we the Salt Lake residents, airport goers zoom to VIP Road using this Flyover and reach the destination bypassing  traffic congestion at Ultadanga crossings.

The flyover was thrown open to the public by Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya on 05 January 2011.
