The centre has given 35 percent of the cost since this is a Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission project and the rest has been borne by the consortium of RiverBank Holdings and its joint venture partner L&T Dabriwala.

To solve this problem the conception of constructing Batanagar Flyover rose.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced the construction of the Batanagar Flyover in the 2014.

[3] West Bengal's longest flyover, which connects Jinjira Bazar to Batanagar across Maheshtala in the southern part of the city, has developed cracks barely a year since it was opened to traffic, a senior official of the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA)said.

The cracks were detected on pillars 121 and 122 of the 7 km-long Sampriti (Harmony) flyover on during an inspection and vehicular movement on it was stopped soon afterwards.
