The Belgharia flyover, a crucial connector for Kolkata's northern suburbs to Dum Dum Airport, will be closed in the New Year for urgent repairs. The decision follows a health audit revealing defects in 12 girders requiring replacement. Officials stated the closure is essential to prevent accidents, acknowledging potential inconvenience to commuters. Discussions are underway regarding traffic diversion and alternative routes, with the repair work expected to begin in the first week of January.
