Andhra Pradesh to Pilot Innovative Asphalt Road Technology
Imagine making roads super strong so they don't get holes!
Andhra Pradesh is trying out a new way to build roads.
It uses special fibers, like the strong stuff in bulletproof vests, mixed into the road material.
This makes the roads last longer and not get damaged by weather.
The new method has worked well in other places like airports and train lines.
The goal is to build roads that stay in good shape for much longer than regular ones.
Andhra Pradesh to pilot Danish asphalt fiber technology.
The project aims to create pothole-free, long-lasting roads.
The technology uses aramid and polyolefin fibers in asphalt.
This method has been used in Heathrow Airport, Dubai Metro, and Germany's A7.
Roads are expected to last 50% longer and withstand harsh weather.
