MoRTH issues uniform design norms for durable service roads along highways

NEW DELHI: In a crucial step to help in maintaining consistency and quality of service roads along the national highways, the ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH) has brought out guidelines for their design criteria since there was no uniform scientific basis for the same.

As the service roads cater to the traffic diverted from the main carriageways during construction, the guidelines are expected to ensure durability and serviceability of service roads.
