A very good news for all employees and workers in Sector V kolkata. Now Rajarhat, Bantala and Saltlake Sector V will be connected with a highway by next year. The new road will connect Saltlake Sector V's ring road with Rajarhat and then further extends to Bantala SEZ. NDITA (The Nabadiganta Industrial Township Authority) is already started working to make a 2.5km long road.
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 3km 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.
"We are working according to plans to complete setting up the road by March next year," said NDITA chief executive officer Badrinarayan Kar.
Earlier, Hidco had constructed the East-West Major Arterial Road that runs parallel to the site earmarked for the Infosys and Wipro project. The road connects the Rajarhat main arterial road and the 6km long PWD road that connects to Cognizant and other IT companies in Bantala.
With the construction of the East-West Arterial Road, a link has already been established with Rajarhat and Bantala. However, the PWD Road is in bad shape and both Hidco and PWD have jointly worked on a plan to develop it so that techies can have a smooth short-cut.
The project is pegged at Rs 16 crore and Hidco and PWD have agreed on sharing the cost to widen and strengthen the road.
