Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, has inaugurated a unique, first of its kind mobile cold mixer cum asphalt paver and filling machine, which was developed domestically by the Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) to repair potholes.
According to the officials, the machine can repair 12-15 medium-sized potholes in an hour and is the best solution for road and highway maintenance.
Gadkari emphasized the need to develop cost-effective road construction technologies by using locally available materials to reduce reliance on cement and steel.
Gadkari asked the road research institute to focus on long span bridges and find ways to solve the problems of bridge expansion joints.
