Batanagar Flyover (Bengali: বাটানগর উড়ালপুল; also known as Sampriti Flyover) is a flyover in the southern suburbs of Kolkata. The two-lane flyover is 7.5 km (4.7 mi) and 28 ft (8.5 m) wide. The flyover connects Batanagar with Jinjira Bazaar.[1] The Sampriti flyover is the first in the city to be built on PPP mode. 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.[4]
