Several road development projects are being under taken in the city. The major one being the development of 42 kms of city roads under PPP on annuity basis. This thread will discuss/showcase about the development in road infrastructure.
The ride quality is determined by the technology of road construction as well as the mix design. TCRIP roads are paved using electronic sensor pavers using asphalt from a computer controlled hot mix plant.@abhilashtvpm- Thanks bro
and @aseem azeez- ya you are right the stretch doesn't come anywhere near the quality of crip roads. its surface quality s very very poor. we can feel the level variations all the time. And i don't know what kind of material CRIP is using in road works especially the one used in kowdiar road , we don't hear tire noise while traveling in a car but in this stretch its very prominent.
Bro, i commute through the stretch twice every week and i've seen most of the road work progress. The final tarmac layer has been laid and unfortunately still the road surface quality don't match with the quality of TCRIP roads.hno:Perhaps the top layer of the pavement has not been laid down yet on the Kesavadasapuram - Nalanchira stretch.
Perhaps the final layer, bituminous concrete, is yet to be laid. The layer under it, DBM, gives a rougher ride. I have seen that contractors sometimes wait a little while between the two layers in order to let the lower layer get compacted by traffic. I haven't been to those roads in person, so I will defer to your opinion and hope that things get better. I had pretty high hopes due to the excellent quality of the M C Road.Abhijithh92 said:Bro, i commute through the stretch twice every week and i've seen most of the road work progress.
