Ahmedabad bridges

To enhance the riding quality of commute on various bridges of the city, the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has resurfaced the top layer, bituminous concrete (asphalt), of seven bridges across the city.

The AMC administration has included bridges over rivers, flyovers bridges, and railway overbridges in the resurfacing work.

As per AMC’s engineer, road and bridge project department, the continuous movement of vehicles causes heavy surface erosion of the wearing course (uppermost layer) of the carriageway of several bridges.

To improve the riding quality, the existing top surface was milled and resurfaced at the bituminous concrete level, enabling vehicles to pass smoothly over the bridges.
