India made record in constructing road infrastructure

The ministry of road transport and highways has declared that India has made history by constructing a 100 kilometer-long road on the Ghaziabad-Aligarh Expressway in a record time of 100 hours. The historic feat has been achieved by using bituminous concrete.

This feat has set a new world record for the fastest construction of a road of this length.

The road has been constructing by Ghaziabad Aligarh Expressway Pvt Ltd in collaboration with EPC contractor Larsen & Toubro Limited.

How the Ghaziabad-Aligarh express way is important?

Union minister Nitin Gadkari stated the long Ghaziabad-Aligarh stretch of National Highway 34 plays an important link for trade across industrial hubs, agricultural areas, and educational institutions.
It ensures the smooth movement of goods and services and boosts economic development.
This recent record is highlighting the dedication and ingenuity of India’s road infrastructure industry.

The process of constructing record highway:

The construction of the expressway had been completed in record time due to usage of innovation technologies and a highly skilled workforce.
A special kind of bituminous concrete is used that has been structured as laid quickly and easily.
The workforce also did their work round the clock to ensure that the project was completed on time.

What is CCPR technology?

India has committed to sustainable and cost-effective technology called Cold Central Plant Recycling (CCPR) technology which has been implemented in the project.
After adopting this approach, India has significantly reduced fuel consumption and the associated greenhouse gas emissions by making a substantial contribution to lowering carbon footprint.
