For building new roads and repairing the existing ones, the Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department has decided to use the latest technology of ‘micro surfacing’ as this technique doesn’t wear away easily and are above all, environment friendly as well cost-effective and this will also stop the accumulation of additional layers of gravel and stone ballast on roads which keep on increasing its level. The officials say that by using crystal rubber modified bitumen the roads will last longer than usual. The PWD has decided to get the roads repaired in all the big cities (municipal corporation areas) with the new technology of ‘micro surfacing’. Recently, by using the technique of micro surfacing, the road has been reconstructed in front of PWD headquarters. Engineer-in-chief, PWD, Manoj Kumar Gupta informed that directives have been issued to use this technology across the state. These roads will be built in metros with new technology not only to ensure quality construction but will also bring down the cost of construction. It is said that only a thin layer of bitumen will be required in the repair of the road under micro surfacing and the road refurbished will also last for three to four years. The new technology will reduce the cost of renovation and repair by 60 percent.
