Vivekananda Road

Vivekananda road at Bidhan Sarani crossing.

Vivekananda Road is a major east–west thoroughfare in the Indian city of Kolkata and connects Maniktala with Jorasanko. West of Acharya Prafulla Chandra Road, Maniktala Main Road becomes Vivekananda Road. It becomes Kali Krishna Tagore Road after crossing Rabindra Sarani. This road name is a tribute for Swami Vivekananda's Ancestral House which is some meters away from main crossing .

On 31 March 2016, a flyover under construction on Vivekananda Road near Girish Park in Burrabazar collapsed, killing 22 people, and trapping hundreds.[1]
