₹4,200-Crore Expressway Develops Cracks In Days, Viral Repair Video Sparks Questions
A viral video showing industrial fans being used to dry freshly laid bitumen on the Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway has put the spotlight on the quality of a major infrastructure project. The ₹4,200-crore, 63-km expressway developed defects and required repairs just days after its inauguration, prompting criticism and questions over construction standards. The NHAI has since halted toll collection, removed officials and initiated action against the construction agency.
