Additional space for vehicles heading to Science City during the evening peak hours has been carved out of EM Bypass between the Chingrighata and the Metropolitan intersections. ADVERTISEMENTThe trials are in the run-up to a series of traffic blocks needed to bridge the Metro viaduct gap at Chingrighata. “If Science City-bound vehicles from Beleghata and Ultadanga arriving at the Chingrighata crossing along EM Bypass get to drain out faster, some extra minutes are earned. Almost 500 metres long, the road starts near the Metropolitan crossing and reaches Chingrighata intersection with Captain Bheri on the left. One of the two sweet shops, adjacent to VIP Sweets, will be moved some 20 metres away near Captain Bheri.
