Ultadanga Slip Bridge Repairs Begin in Kolkata
The Ultadanga slip bridge in Kolkata, which connects VIP Road and Salt Lake, is being repaired.
The Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA) is fixing the road surface because it was damaged in some spots.
This is happening before the monsoon season to prevent the bridge from getting worse.
The bridge is a shortcut, so the repairs might cause some traffic delays.
The KMDA is also planning a new bridge nearby to help ease traffic congestion.
KMDA has started carriageway repair work on the Ultadanga slip bridge.
The bridge connects VIP Road with Salt Lake over the Kestopur canal.
One lane was left open for traffic during the repair work.
The repairs are needed to prevent further damage before the monsoon season.
KMDA is planning a new Bailey bridge to bypass traffic congestion.
