Repairs to the Chandernagore walkover are expected to begin by next week.

In a response to the Express yesterday evening, the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure said, “The objective is to fix the walkover over the week commencing September 8.”

It added that the repair plan had already been developed and welding repairs will be done at night, when there is a minimal flow of traffic. “This process will involve co-ordination of the ministry’s technical teams, contractor and TTPS personnel to ensure that the works undertaken are safe, effective and durable.”
