Historical Jessore Road


Jessore Road is a road connecting Shyambazar through Dum Dum, both neighbourhoods in Kolkata, to Jessore in Bangladesh. While the Dum Dum–Barasat sector is now part of NH 12, the Barasat–Petrapole sector is now part of NH 112. It continues in Bangladesh as N 706 from Benapole to Jessore. The road acts as a major link between Kolkata with the northern suburbs, especially Barasat and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport. The road meets commuter rail links at the Jessore Road Suburban railway station and at Barasat Junction railway station. Metro stations on this road include Shyambazar and Belgachia.
