'''Aurobindo Sarani''' (Formerly '''Grey Street''') is one of the oldest and most congested main roads in north part of [[Kolkata]]. Many buses, taxis and auto-rickshaws use the road. It connects [[Ultadanga]] with [[Shobhabazar]]. West of Gouribari, Ultadanga Main Road (Bidhannagar Road) becomes Aurobindo Sarani. It becomes Shobhabazar Street after crossing Jatindra Mohan Avenue (Shobhabazar Petrol Station).<ref name='Gm'>Google maps</ref> This road's name is a tribute for [[Sri Aurobindo|Aurobindo Ghosh]], a famous freedom-fighter and Hindu saint of India.<br />
<br />
Aurobindo Sarani consists of several important places, such as [[AJC Bose Road & APC Road|APC Road]] crossing, [[Bidhan Sarani]] crossing and Jatindra Mohan Avenue crossing. This is a very busy road, consisting of one of Kolkata's biggest markets, the [[Hatibagan]] Market, at [[Bidhan Sarani]] Crossing.<ref name='Gm'/><br />
<br />
The road is connected to Ultadanga Main Road (Bidhannagar Road) with '''Arobindo Setu''' (Gouribari Bridge), over one of Kolkata's canals. The bridge was opened in 1974 and connects Khanna/Gouribari ([[Maniktala]]) with [[Ultadanga]]. Unfortunately the bridge is poorly maintained.<ref>{{cite news|title=Arobindo Setu|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/states/west-bengal/the-ill-health-of-calcutta-bridges-spells-much-more-than-logistical-doom/cid/1719743}}</ref><br />
