Kolkata: The Kolkata Traffic Police has urged commuters from east Kolkata, including Salt Lake and New Town, to the central business district to travel by Beliaghata Main Road or Beliaghata Canal Side Road, CIT Road (Park Circus) and Park Street instead of EM Bypass, Maa flyover and AJC Bose Road flyover. The aim, said police, was to decongest the Maa-AJC Bose Road flyover that handled over 600 vehicles a minute during peak office hours and to better utilize other roads with less traffic.
Police are sending out the message on social media and display boards, calling the diversion a “smarter choice”. “Use Park Street and alternate roads (Beliaghata Main Road/Beliaghata Canal Road) from EM Bypass to reach CBD, Esplanade during peak traffic hours. Make the smarter choice… choose Park street for a seamless commute to Dalhousie-Esplanade,” the police advertised on Monday.
Cops urged Park Circus-bound vehicles to take Park Circus connector instead of Maa flyover. “We will display the possible travel time on Maa flyover and Park Circus connector,” said an officer.
