Kolkata: After more than six years, the city’s Orange Line has finally cleared the Chingrighata bottleneck — the last 31-m concrete deck slab was placed on Sunday to bridge the 366-m gap, paving the way for passenger services from New Garia to Sector V. Girder-launching at the intersection was completed in 90 days, and Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd (RVNL), implementing the 32km New Garia-Airport corridor, hoisted the Tricolour on the 12m high Chingrighata viaduct on Saturday to mark the occasion.
