Ahmedabad–Dholera Expressway - No Goosebumps only Speedbumps😭
I recently drove on the Ahmedabad dholera Expressway expecting a smooth and fast journey. Instead, every time I tried to cross 100 kilometres per hour, another bumpy section or patch appeared and told me to slow down. My car was dancing without any music.
I googled according to official National Highways Authority of India figures, this 109.09 kilometre expressway is divided into four construction packages and has an overall cost of 4,929.14 crore. The project also used 11.5 lakh tonnes of municipal waste in its embankment. That works out to roughly 45 crore per kilometre. I understand that this cost includes bridges, interchanges and other infrastructure, but surely a smooth road surface should also be included.
development deserves appreciation, but public money also deserves accountability. a big budget and an expressway signboard do not automatically mean quality.
People who have travelled on it recently, was your journey smooth, or did you also receive the free Gujarat road massage???? Correct me if I am wrong.
