UNDERPASS PROJECT IN KOLKATA FROM NEW TOWN TO AIRPORT BY HIDCO

In a unique move, the Housing and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HIDCO) will construct an underground tunnel to ease traffic congestion for airport-bound vehicles. The construction of the underground tunnel has begun and it is likely to be completed within two years. This is for the first time in the state when an underground tunnel will be built to ease traffic congestion.
The length of the tunnel will be about 320 metres. According to sources, through this tunnel, light motor vehicles will be able to cross New Town Main Arterial Road at Biswa Bangla Gate, 4.2 metres below ground level. The pedestrian subway will be built under that, around 8metres below the thoroughfare. The four-lane underpass will be 7 metres wide. The estimated cost for the project is Rs 68 crore, as reported.
