Delhi: PWD to take up repair works along key roads stretching 254 km

In order to make city roads safe and accident-free for commuters, the Public Works Department (PWD) will take up repair and strengthening works on key arterial roads stretching across 254 km, said officials.

According to a senior PWD official, the department has received administrative approval for the work which will start in the coming days. “Strengthening of roads is done every five years. Under this, the department repairs all patches, potholes, breaks and cracks on a particular stretch and lays a two to three-inch bituminous layer. This extends the life of the road by five years and also provides a smooth commute,” the official said.
