Maa Flyover Ramp To Be Inaugurated This Week!!

The Maa flyover ramp is likely to be inaugurated this week, and would finally reduce the journey time from EM Bypass to Race Course to less than 10 minutes. ‘The westbound ramp’ will be connecting Maa flyover with the AJC Bose Road elevated corridor. However, the ramp would be first inspected by Urban Development Minister and Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim before the date of the inauguration is decided. The Minister, as per department sources, wants the ramp to be inaugurated by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The ramp which is 1 Km-long, is carved out of the Maa elevated corridor near Topsia Police Station and flies over a number of busy thoroughfares like Nasiruddin Road, Congress Exhibition Road, and a part of Circus Avenue to merge with AJC Bose Road flyover near Beckbagan crossing. With the ramp open for access, it will help in the decongestion of traffic. The city’s new growth area, east Kolkata has been brought closer to Southern Howrah with this ramp.
