GHMC starts laying 247-km concrete roads

GHMC
To provide hassle-free road transport facilities, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has started laying 247-km long Vacuum Dewatered Cement Concrete (VDCC) roads in the city. GHMC executive engineer of Chandanagar circle, P Chinna Reddy, informed that unlike the regular gravel roads, layers of concrete floors are being laid to build a VDCC road as it will prevent waterlogging. The same is the case with Road No.3 Banjara Hills and Road No.46 Jubilee Hills. These roads are mainly being laid to avoid frequent waterlogging. Even the best quality bitumen is damaged if the water is stagnant on the road. After assessing the longevity of the stretch, GHMC decided to extend the project to other parts of the city.
