'White-topping' to rejuvenate aging NHs.

* The total length of national highways in the country, at present, is approximately 1.5 lakh km.
* As two-, four- and six-lane national highways and expressways are being built, the quantum of aged 
   assets is increasing.
 
Reinforcing the roads

1. Unexpected increase in traffic loading, poor maintenance or improper drainage conditions aggravate 
    the rate of deterioration of bitumen roads.
2. White-topping technology is the covering of an existing asphalt pavement with a layer of of Portland
    Cement Concrete.
3. White-topping prevents structural cracks and rutting and extends the lifespan of roads by 20-25 years.

My take

May our roads be a pleasure to drive upon for every motorist!


Tailpiece.
