Ahmedabad’s iconic airport road, which frequently remains in the spotlight due to VIP movement, is once again under scrutiny after authorities decided to spend ₹90 lakh on repair and beautification works barely two years after the road was constructed at a cost of ₹64 crore.
When the road was inaugurated in 2024, it was touted as a world-class and iconic gateway connecting the airport to Indira Bridge. However, the decision to undertake fresh repair work on the stretch has raised questions over the durability of the project.
Decorative railings, footpaths and statues to be repaired
According to sources, the proposed works will include repairs and maintenance of decorative railings, footpath blocks and stones, grills, statues, zebra crossings and repainting of footpath stones.
Officials will also carry out repairs at spots where minor damage or wear and tear has been observed.
Road remains in focus due to VIP movement
The airport road serves as one of Ahmedabad’s key entry points and regularly witnesses the movement of VIPs and dignitaries. Despite security personnel being deployed along the stretch, damage to some of the infrastructure has reportedly necessitated the repair work.
The road, envisioned as a modern and attractive entrance to the city, was built at an estimated cost of ₹64 crore and has been operational for only around two to two-and-a-half years. The fresh expenditure of ₹90 lakh on maintenance has now reignited discussions over the project’s upkeep and quality.
