Project Brief
The NH-34 Barasat to Krishnagar Section in the state of West Bengal is located in the
northern part of Metropolitan city Kolkata. It is part of the proposed Barasat to Raiganj section.
The NH-34 is an integral component of the National and Regional road network. The project
highway described in this report is under construction and runs from Km 31.000 to 115.000
between Barasat to Krishnagar on NH 34 in the state of West Bengal.
