Kona Expressway Flyover Work Delayed by Permission Issues
Imagine they're building a bridge over a busy road called Kona Expressway.
The builders need to close part of the road to work, but the police haven't given permission yet.
The police want the builders to finish some side roads first so it's easier for people to get around.
Because of the delay, the bridge might not be finished on time, which could cause traffic to remain congested.
This bridge is supposed to help people get to work and other places faster.
Construction of a flyover on Kona Expressway is delayed due to pending permissions.
Howrah City Police requires service lanes to be completed before granting road closure permission.
NHAI aims to complete flyover foundations before the monsoon but faces delays.
The flyover is expected to reduce travel time significantly, from 40 minutes to 10-15 minutes.
The project may miss the December 2026 deadline if permissions are not granted soon.
