Ring road to link Kolkata's Sector V, Bantala

17 Nov 2012 CW Team

Kolkata city's IT hub or Sector V, will soon be interlinked with Rajarhat-New Town and Bantala SEZ through new roads next year. So it is good news for motorists and techies who have a harrowing time while on their way to work in the IT hub.

The new road link will start with the ring road that is being set up at Sector V and join the PWD road - that connects Rajarhat with Bantala on Basanti highway - at Bhojerhat. The Nabadiganta Industrial Township Authority (NDITA) is working to set up the 2.5 km long road that will form a ring surrounding Sector V.

This road connectivity will immensely benefit motorist and reduce the time taken to move through the three areas.

There will be a larger ring road formation that will begin at Chingrihata More on EM Bypass. Moving along Salt Lake Bypass, it will connect with Rajarhat main arterial road through the short ring road in Sector V and then snake ahead to meet the East West arterial road, which is linked to the PWD Road.

The PWD road is connected to Basanti highway that in turn will meet the EM Bypass near Parama Island junction thereby completing the circle. At present, to reach 215A bus stand near Technopolis More, motorists have to take the 3 km road that starts from SDF Building and then moves along WEBEL Crossing and College More, before taking a right turn to the bus stand.

This stretch connects the major arterial road of Rajarhat on the back end. Once the ring road stretch comes up, motorists will find it easier to connect to the main arterial road at Rajarhat by cutting the travel time from SDF Building More.
