Potholes Bring Traffic To A Standstill On Major Indian Highway

UltraCrete, from the award-winning Instarmac Group plc, can help!

The Times of India has reported that as a consequence of heavy rainfall, a number of crater sized potholes have appeared along the NH 66, turning the much used road into a ‘death trap for motorists’.

What’s more, these dangerous potholes are causing severe congestion as motorists attempt to navigate their way through pothole riddled roads - some motorists have reported daily delays of up to 3 hours.

Worryingly, it’s not just happening here! Potholes are causing chaos on many expressways across India – quite a disruption for a population of 1.3 billion.
Road repair is a topical issue in India with the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) still actively working on their 2012 US$70 billion road highway expansion programme. As well as building new roads and bridges across India, the programme also involves repairing potholes on the existing highways and this is where UltraCrete can help!
