[2] After a huge cost-overrun and delays, the main flyover was opened on 9 October 2015 at a cost of ₹460 crores.
[6] The flyover which was opened without completion of the flanks connecting AJC Bose Road Flyover, resulted in massive traffic jams after initial inauguration.
With the pressure mounting Kolkata Police was forced to temporarily shut down the flyover for few hours.
