caption_attribution_description: English: The Parama Island Flyover (officially Maa) is 4.5-kilometre-long flyover in Kolkata. It was opened on Thursday, 12 October 2015 at 12 Noon, by the WB Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. It took twelve years to build.
context_page_description: Maa Flyover is a 9.62 kilometres long flyover in Kolkata. It is built along Park Circus Connector and connects EM Bypass with Park Circus 7-Point Crossing, then to Vidyasagar Setu to Howrah via the existing AJC Bose Road Flyover. After both ramps of the flyover connecting it with AJC Bose Road Flyover were completed in early 2019, the flyover forms a seamless, no-signal traffic corridor from EM Bypass to PG Hospital. The total length of the flyover, including the ramps, is 9.2 km. The flyover started its construction in February 2010. The project had an original deadline of August 2012, and the deadline was extended multiple times. After a huge cost-overrun and delays, the main flyover was opened on 9 October 2015 at a cost of ₹ 460 crores. The 450-meter east bound flank of the flyover, which directly connects AJC Bose Road Flyover with the flyover from Exide Side to EM Bypass, was opened in August 2016 while the west bound flank of the flyover connecting it to AJC Bose Road Flyover was opened in February 2019. Barring a stretch of 684.31 meters constructed by Larsen & Toubro, the flyover was constructed by Hindustan Construction Company.
