The Gujarat state government announced a major infrastructure policy decision to replace traditional asphalt urban roads with durable cement-concrete (CC) pavements across major municipalities.
State urban development officials stated that concrete roads offer superior weather resistance against heavy monsoon waterlogging, significantly reducing annual road repair expenditures and pothole formation.
The phase-wise conversion project will prioritize high-traffic arterial corridors in Ahmedabad, Surat, and Vadodara over the next fiscal cycle.
