Interlocking blocks for service roads near bridges, flyovers
AHMEDABAD: The city civic body plans to pave service road sections underneath bridges and flyovers and alongside underpasses with interlocking blocks. On an experimental basis Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has paved a road alongside Parimal underpass as a test case."Generally, service roads on both sides of bridges and underpasses are frequently dug up as many civic utility junctions are located there. With interlocking paver blocks it is easier to reach these, take the blocks off, repair a civic utility and put them back. Roads are neither disturbed nor are fresh road aggregates required," said a senior AMC engineer.
