Times of India | 12 July 2025
Kolkata: The Salt Lake Bypass stretch connecting Sector V and EM Bypass is set to get a new look before Durga Puja. The Nabadiganta Industrial Township Authority (NDITA) is undertaking beautification work on the stretch with illusion art, painting of sculptures, road marking, traffic signage boards, repairing lighting at the median, and other works.
"The road markers, street furniture and sculptures along the stretch will get a fresh coat of paint. Traffic signages will also be put up for the convenience of motorists," said an official.
The median stretch will be beautified with illumination and more greenery. "Flower tubs will be put up to bring a more aesthetic look," said an official. Besides the Salt Lake Bypass stretch, the authorities will be splashing water on major roads across the IT hub to keep the roads clean and prevent dust pollution.
A welcome gate to the IT hub is also coming up close to Nicco Park crossing. Officials said, planning is on to develop some streets into smart streets with smart bus stands, smart fencing, water ATMs, public art, and CCTV surveillance. —Suman Chakraborti
