Title: India’s Road Building Boom
Post by: Plutonic Panda on August 23, 2024, 02:19:03 AM
I'm sure it's no secret. India is building a fuck ton of new freeways and roads. I say good for them and I'm excited to see the future of their infrastructure.

Monkey crossings on an 'economic corridor'.

Economic corridors are mostly upgrades of existing national highways. These are usually a mix of greenfield routes and four lane upgrades of the existing roads. They are typically not fully access-controlled, in contrast to what they call expressways (freeways).

Mumbai's coastal road is a pretty impressive feat of engineering. And when it's finished, I'm sure it will become a famous landmark, like Chicago's Lake Shore Drive.

Isn't it pretty much finished by now? I thought it's being opened piece by piece at this point.
