Mizoram seeks approval for durable concrete roads

Aizawl, Mar 7 (UNI) The Mizoram government has approached the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) to seek approval for a transition to rigid concrete pavement—commonly known as pre-stressed or bituminous concrete—for road and highway construction across the state.
Chief Minister Lalduhoma, while responding to a discussion on public works department (PWD) initiatives during question hour on Thursday, said that although the adoption of rigid concrete pavement would be costlier, it aligns better with Mizoram’s terrain and soil conditions, ensuring greater durability.
"A new road construction technique is now being introduced, and we intend to apply the pre-stressed concrete (PC) system wherever feasible," he said. "We have requested MoRTH’s approval to modify the construction methodology for roads being built in the state, including those undertaken by agencies like the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and the National Highway Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL)."
