Vivekananda Road is a major east–west thoroughfare in Kolkata which connects Maniktala with Jorasanko. To the West of Maniktala Police Station, Maniktala Main Road becomes Vivekananda Road. The name of the road is a tribute to Swami Vivekananda's Ancestral House which is located near Bidhan Sarani Crossing.[1]
Vivekananda Road consists of several important places, such as APC Road crossing, Amherst Street crossing, Bidhan Sarani crossing, Chittaranjan Avenue crossing and Rabindra Sarani crossing.
On 31 March 2016, a flyover under construction on Vivekananda Road near Girish Park in Burrabazar collapsed, killing 22 people and trapping hundreds.[2]
