Unlike most times when potholes surface a few days after the inauguration of a road or a flyover, the motorists using the elevated section of the Eastern Freeway will get the best driving experience. The road has been constructed using a mixture called the polymer modified bitumen (PMB). This mixture, normally used for construction of runways, increases the life of the road and prevents potholes.


The construction of the four-lane, 500-metre-long tunnel on the freeway is complete. Two lanes of this tunnel will be used by south-bound traffic and the other two by north-bound. Pics/Abhinav Kocharekar
