Motorists fume as they endure long jams; criticise the shoddy construction of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route

Huge cracks have developed on the new concrete road
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad stretch of road between Naigaon and Virar is once again facing criticism for poor construction quality. The newly constructed cement concrete road is already showing signs of wear, with cracks and potholes developing. Commuters and motorists have raised concerns, suggesting that substandard materials may have been used.
The ongoing white-topping project on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad National Highway stretches between Varsova Bridge and Acchad near the Maharashtra-Gujarat border. The work is being undertaken by the NHAI with a budget of `553 crore sanctioned by the central government.
