Indian Highways, Expressways, Bridges,

[sandeepdg]

Your highway - mostly 4-lanes... and even motorbikes running on them?

it seems that few Indian highways is access-controled

Intercity roads are not access controlled, very few highways are access controlled.

Anshu,

some very good pics taken and you've done a brilliant job but i very strongly recommend not to use outlines (which ever color, shape and size) for your pics which dont add to the effects of the pic, also if i may further say, upgrade to better resolution lenses or add a few more good lenses and you will have some absolutely phenomenal stuff out there, though you already seem to have good ones but its about that icing on the cake when you are already putting in so much effort. cheers!

Those are some terribly designed merging ramps. Made for senseless driving.

Thank you RAM for posting the latest development of Indian infrastructure. I do not if you know about the upkeep of the highway roads. Do they resurface them on regular basis ? Are they constructed the same way as in Europe and North America? In Canada they pour concrete than the asphalt.

Those concrete highways are being covered with asphalt for the last two years.

The Golden Bridge that connects Ankleshwar to Bharuch was built in 1881 by the British, who needed a bridge across the Narmada River to create better access to trade and administration officials in Bombay (now called Mumbai).
The Bridge is actually called Narmada Bridge.
The Golden Bridge has seen many floods and natural disasters like earthquakes, but it has stood for 129 years, providing daily transportation to the people of Ankleshwar and Bharuch.
In fact, the site is definitely worth a look. The bridge is as much a part of the rich history of Bharuch as are its archaeological and architectural wonders, mostly temples.
The British, who needed a bridge across Narmada to enable easier access for trade and administration officials in Mumbai, built the Golden Bridge, or Narmada Bridge as it is named, in 1881.
According to legend, it is known as the "Golden Bridge" because the iron used in its construction is very sturdy, resistant to rust and rare, and it was so expensive to build the bridge that a bridge could have been made from gold over a small river like the Thames in this much amount.
The bridge was originally built for the Bombay-Baroda-Ahmedabad Railway Line. But despite being so expensive it was not strong enough to carry the load of the freight trains. Hence a new bridge was made for railways and the Golden Bridge was converted into a road bridge.
The bridge connects Ankleshwar to Bharuch The Golden Bridge got its name on account of the heavy expenditure incurred on building it for more than seven times, after it continued to get damaged due to heavy water flow of river Narmada.
It was said then that the cost incurred was so high that the bridge could be constructed in gold. The Golden Bridge has seen many floods and natural disasters like earthquakes and continues to provide daily transportation to the people of Ankleshwar and Bharuch.
It is not just been a connection between two towns, rather it is a tourist spot for people who throng it in the evenings and enjoy the sight of the Narmada.
The original construction was started in 1861 and in 1863 the pillars got washed away. Then in 1867, more pillars got washed away and the same happened in 1871.
The next two years, the work that was done also got washed away. Finally, the British undertook the job in 1877 and completed the bridge on May 6, 1881 at a cost of Rs 45.65 lakh and called it Narmada Bridge.
In 1860, the work for laying railway tracks was also started adjacent to the Narmada Bridge. With the construction of a new bridge, the railway tracks were laid on the new bridge.
At one time during World War II, financial crunch had even forced the government to decided on destroying the bridge for its iron, but the love of locals for the bridge saved it.
After Independence, it became part of the national highway. Later, after the construction of a new national highway, vehicle flow was restricted.
