On the eastern side of VIP Road, Kestopur Main Road serves as an important connector for New Town, Narkelbagan and Saltlake Sector V. On the eastern side, Prafullakanan road serves heavily populated areas of Dumdum park, Shyamnagar, which terminates at Jessore Road. Finally, after a delay of 15 long years, the Salt Lake - Kestopur gap was bridged. On 25 September 2022, the much-awaited Salt Lake - Kestopur Bridge was inaugurated alleviating the inconvenience of the people by reducing the distance between Salt Lake and Kestopur to a mere 36 meters. Previously, residents of Kestopur had to enter Salt Lake through either of the two ways, Lake Town Bailey Bridge or Newtown and both of them were time-consuming lengthy routes. The bridge has been opened between AK Block of Salt Lake and Samarpally of Kestopur. This new facility is especially aiding motorists moving towards the airport as the travel time has got substantially cut down. The 36-metre-long bridge has two lanes along with footpaths on both sides to facilitate vehicles from Salt Lake to enter VIP Road and vice versa without having to move all the way towards Ultadanga or Chinar Park. Residents living in the Sector II area of Salt Lake as well as those commuting from Baguiati and the airport will benefit from this new development. Previously, all airport-bound vehicles from Salt Lake's Sector I and Sector II areas had to move towards Ultadanga and then take the VIP Road to move towards the airport.History
The Rajrajeswari Mandir located in Barowaritala, Kestopur is over 350 years old. Every year in April, the tremendously popular Mela is held. Time-honorned Emmanuel Church - The history of Emmanuel Church is an interesting one. Though founded in 1829 by a LMS Missionary Rev. Gogerly. the decision to have a church built was taken up way back in 1806 at the vestry of Union Chapel (Lenin Sarani). In the same year -1806 some Portuguese merchants, having almost escaped from the jaws of death due to heavy wind while sailing through in the river Vidyadhari, came to Kestopur. Upon entering the Kestopur canal they, with the help of local people, chose an elevated land to stay in safety. As there was no place of worship for them, they built a small cottage church to express their gratitude to the Providence and for worship. Subsequently a generous Hindu landlord by the name of Kalachand Mondal came forward and donated some land for the construction of the church building. Thus this historical church in Kestopur Mission Bazaar, Kolkata had a humble beginning. The credit goes to Portuguese merchants who put up the cottage for worship first.Police station
