Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA) has hastened the construction work of the 12m high flyover on an elevated corridor at Ruby crossing at an investment of ₹600 crore. The design for the six-lane Ruby flyover is almost ready. The corridor will also have the 5.5m skywalk planned below the upcoming Hemanta Mukherjee Metro station at the Ruby crossing and it is expected to take three years to build the flyover. The project has been aimed at decongesting Ruby crossing and Kalikapur or Abhishikta intersections, which are the most congested parts of the Bypass. The new flyover will address these two traffic quagmires and increase mobility on EM Bypass for the next 30 years. Railway consultancy RITES has submitted the draft detailed project report (DPR) to KMDA, which will finalize the project in consultation with the Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), implementing agency of the metro project. The three-lane structures on either side of the New Garia-Airport metro viaduct from Kalikapur to VIP Bazar will be 2m taller than the metro stations. The south-bound flank, ending at Metro Cash and Carry, will be 3km and the north-bound one that goes a little beyond VIP Bazar will be 4km. The flyover has been split into two separate structures, consisting of Garia-Airport Metro. Work for 7 stations is set to start as the median has already been taken up by the metro viaduct.
