Ganga Expressway Cracks Months After Launch in Amroha
There is a brand new, very big road called the Ganga Expressway in India.
People started using it only a few months ago.
After a lot of heavy rain, part of the road got damaged.
It looks like it got big holes and even caved in a little.
The damage happened near two small villages in a place called Amroha.
Because the road was not safe, the people in charge told drivers to use a different road instead.
