Belgharia flyover to close for urgent repairs in January
The Belgharia flyover in Kolkata, which connects the Belgharia Expressway to Dum Dum Airport, will be closed in the first week of January for urgent repairs.
The flyover is important for connecting different roads and is used by many people and large vehicles.
The repairs are needed because 12 girders are defective and need to be replaced.
Officials say the closure will cause some problems for people, but it's important to prevent accidents.
The decision was made after a meeting with the Public Works Department, police, and railways.
Alternative routes were discussed, but nothing has been finalized yet.
