Union Road Transport and Highways Minister
“The new corridors will use Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC), a technology developed in Malaysia. Unlike conventional designs, the new method allows the distance between support pillars to increase from 30 metres to nearly 120 metres. This will reduce the number of pillars needed, lower construction costs, and improve traffic flow beneath the elevated roads.”
