Indian Roads (Misc.)

The Indian government has begun a 15-year project to widen and pave some 40,000 miles of narrow, decrepit national highways, with the first leg, budgeted at $6.25 billion, to be largely complete by next year. It amounts to the most ambitious infrastructure project since independence in 1947 and the British building of the subcontinent’s railway network the century before. More jagged than geometric, the four- and six-lane quadrilateral’s 3,625 miles run through 13 states and India’s four largest cities: New Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai and Mumbai.
