Motorists Urge NHAI to Resurface Damaged Service Lane on Vellore-Ranipet Border

The service lane adjacent to the newly opened underpass has reportedly remained in disrepair for several months, following its inauguration in February. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has attributed the delay in repairs to rising bitumen costs, which have been affected by fluctuations in the global market.

The underpass, part of broader infrastructure enhancement efforts, aims to improve traffic flow and safety in the area. The NHAI’s difficulties in managing repair costs reflect ongoing challenges faced by infrastructure agencies due to volatility in construction material prices, which can impact project timelines and resource allocation.

Further details regarding a timeline for the service lane repairs have not been provided, and residents and commuters are awaiting an update on when they can expect the necessary improvements to be made.
