KMP Expressway- travel from Manesar to Palwal to get smoother, 53 km stretch to be repaired soon News24 –
Repair work on the Manesar to Palwal section of the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway will begin next week. The Haryana State Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) has completed preparations for the project. A total of Rs 48 crore will be spent on repairing this 53 km stretch.
The budget has been approved by the High Power Purchase Committee of the Haryana government. Accidents often occur due to potholes across the roads, illegal cuts and broken railings. Along with the road repairs, all illegal cuts will be closed and the railings will be repaired, Jagran reported.
Although the entire KMP Expressway is in poor condition, the stretch between Manesar and Palwal is in the worst state. The road has sunk at many place and the tar layers have peeled off. There are more than 20 illegal cuts on this section of the expressway. The situation is especially concerning in Nuh district, where vehicles enter the expressway from unauthorised points due to these illegal cuts. As a result, drivers are falling victim to accidents on a daily basis.
Moreover, vehicles cannot maintain the prescribed speed of 120 kilometers per hour anywhere on the expressway due to its poor condition. Large potholes are present along the main carriageway creating problems for commuters especially during night. Furthermore, potholes near the Gurugram border, also add to the risk and inconvenience for commuters on daily basis.
