From GT Road, to Yamuna Expressway. Indian roads have changed a lot over the years, and that is why change is so constant. Each year, many projects are passed. Expressways are always one of these projects. Each year, millions of dollars are allocated to the construction of large multi-lane expressways. This information is vital to ensure that people can save time and money when traveling. We will be discussing Indian Expressways, which have made travel easier and more enjoyable.
India is a developing nation, as is its road network. India has the third-largest network of roads in the world. China and the USA are ranked second and first, respectively. The Indian Road network continues to grow rapidly, and India could soon surpass the United States and China for first place.
India's roads connect every city with the rest, via major roads, overpasses and expressways. All amenities such as SOS stations, Surveillance cameras and speed measurement, ambulances and police services will be provided on the new expressways. India could soon use the internetofthings concept to increase safety and convenience of road travel. Travel will be more efficient and safer if technology like artificial intelligence and big data is used.
India is putting more emphasis on making all things world-class. Expressways are currently the main focus. This focus is evident in both the existing and upcoming expressways. Here is a list containing some of the most spectacular Indian expressways and some upcoming projects.
What's an Expressway?
Expressways are roads that are specifically built for high-speed vehicles. These roads are controlled by ramps, which control entry and exit. To avoid any potential problems, this is necessary. An expressway includes a grade separation, ramps and elevated portions. Expressways in India typically have six to twelve lanes.
The Agra-Lucknow Expressway is the longest currently operational expressway in India, measuring 302 km.
