Traffic rejig en route to a flight

Calcutta: Today’s pain is tomorrow’s gain will be the motto at Calcutta airport from February 15, 2010, with traffic being restricted because of an integrated terminal building coming up as part of the modernisation project.
“The approach road leading to the domestic terminal from the intersection of VIP Road will be closed. All vehicles coming to the airport will take the existing road leading to the international terminal,” said R. Srinivasan, the airport director.
The construction of the integrated terminal building — a key component of the Rs 2,100-crore modernisation project — is underway adjacent to the domestic terminal building. The target date of commissioning is May 5, 2011.
The traffic diversion would continue for more than a year, sources said. The diversion for VIP Road-bound vehicles from Jessore Road through the airport will also be closed temporarily to avoid congestion.
