Kolkata: The Park Street Flyover on Jl Nehru Road will remain closed from Friday night until Tuesday morning for 80 hours to complete the load test.
The police gave a nod at the close on Thursday given the reduced volume of traffic after the Covid surge.
With Jaticade Flyover for testing, North and South vehicles will take advantage of Jl Nehru Road.
Lalbazar said they would post extra personnel around Park Street Crossing if needed.
“We may face a little burden during office hours on Saturday and Monday morning.
But there should be no problems such as traffic volume has declined,” said an officer.
HRBC has been asked to complete the job before the top of the peak hours of traffic.
In any emergency term, the part of the traffic bonded esplanade will be transferred through the Red Road from Park Street Crossing.
Similarly, binding traffic will be transferred through Dufferin Road and Mayo Road through RR Avenue.
The police said they could not shutdown until the last Friday night traffic was cleaned.
