The most popular roads taken are the Grand Trunk Road off Howrah Bridge or Delhi Road off Bali Bridge. The fastest way to reach the town from the Calcutta Airport area is to take the east-bound Jessore Road and then Kalyani Expressway to the Kalyani Bridge. 

After crossing the bridge into Bansberia, one has to drive a couple of miles north to enter Chinsurah.
