Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai Thursday inaugurated a 500-metre stretch of a road in Binnamangala, Bengaluru constructed with ‘rapid road work’ technology.
The construction was carried out by the civic body Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) under a pilot project starting November 23.
Addressing the media, the chief minister said: “Rapid road technology is faster than white topping. The new technology’s feasibility will be studied. The BBMP has to work on reducing its cost. Compared to white topping, the cost of the rapid road is more. This technology involves laying precast concrete slabs and joining each of them. This pilot project which has been inaugurated today will be observed for the next 15 days.”
