Kukrahati is a small place in Purba Medinipur district of the Indian state of West Bengal. It is located around 150 km from Kolkata, and stands on the bank of the Hooghly river, opposite Raichak in South 24 Parganas. It is the gateway to the port and industrial city of Haldia. Ferry services operated by Haldia municipality at intervals of 30 minutes take only 15 minutes to cross the river. Thereafter, it is private road transport (bus or taxi) to Haldia.

Proposed bridge

There is a proposal to build a bridge across the Hooghly river from Kukrahati to Raichak. The four lane road bridge is expected to be complete by 2012. The construction of the Eastern Link Highway, linking Barasat with Raichak, which would be 100 km long and 100 m wide and spread over 2,500 acres (10 km²), is also on the anvil. The road will ultimately terminate at Nandigram. The projects would be implemented by New Kolkata International Development Private Ltd, a special purpose company that has been promoted by the Salim Group, the Universal Success Group and Unitech.
