Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation to restructure Road Building Norms
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has planned for a beautification of its city in which the first concern will be taken over in construction of roads and meanwhile the corporation wing has decided to change the existing norms the road construction department is following. The way city roads are built in Ahmedabad demands a slight change which would be beneficial for the commuters. The composition of the roads will have a base core layer of around 400 millimeter in thickness and the moisture presence in the soil will be taken for a quality test before using it for the construction. All these measures have been taken care off to ensure the binding quality of the road.
The Municipal Commissioner Guruprasad Mohapatra reported saying that the worse case in road construction is that the roads are being laid to the extreme sides of the street wherein the trees, the pedestrian footpath are all being unstructured. Also during the rainy season the rain waters seems to be running all over the road bringing difficulty to the commuters. Water and wastes all over the road seems to be the major result of bad roads in Ahmedabad. Also he added on saying that the roads in the state inside and in highways seems to be varying slightly in the composition thus resulting in the variation in the thickness of roads. The road engineering department in Ahmedabad has ensured the state government to amend road norms slightly and also ensuring the proper structural and procedural developments to be installed for the welfare of the city.
