Last month or so i saw this particular video, in South Korea what they did was remove the divide and created a cycle lane and top of which were laid solar cells.

So they not only made a good use of space but also create a roof for cyclists/pedestrians and and on top of that they are generating clean energy.

I really liked that idea because of a multitude of reasons, one of them is that during the pandemic i got some time and opportunities to travel by local buses/cars and one thing i noticed was total waste of that space between highways, it looks ugly, plants are grazed by animals and literally badly utilized. We really need to so something to change it.

NiGa is working great in terms of highway etc. but he really need to ensure that we can at least make the roads more appealing when you are travelling.

When i was a kid, i used to travel to my Nani's house and though roads(it was highway so quality was not bad but compared to now that was just substandard) and one thing miss is that there are no trees near the highways now, just 10 years back we will have countless trees even those wild animals crossing sometimes it was a pleasant experience to travel but now it's just lacks the 'soul'.
Most of the trees which are added were grazzed same with plants. Maybe we can better utilize that space with something like this.

Even if people don't use it for cycling still it can be used to generate electricity, basically free realstate.

Would be a bit unusual to make cycle tracks on highways when our cities don't have them (usually). Who cycles intercity? A better idea would be to put solar panels on the OHCs meant for electric part of the Delhi-Mumbai e-highway. Other than that, solar plants are more efficiently utilized when put in one localized spot, rather than distributed over a long route length. So put them on the roadside amenities buildings that are part of the expressway projects.

> Who cycles intercity?

Actually, this was one of my first reactions but then i remember from my own personal experience that if you go even in the outskirts of the cities you fill find large chunk of people, elders, youngsters who go for jogging, cycling along the sides of highway and bridges there's always that much decent chunk of a population and it's not like you don't have the divide which almost similar space already.
There's space, you are already building the structure why not invest a bit more and make it more suitable for useful needs. Almost every new highway which you will see has pedestrians sides on both the sides. So it didn't seem like an issue.


For the electricity part, again it can be solved by dividing the groups into grids and power the neighbouring regions or create megapark like those done by Tesla in likes of Australia etc. to store large power and distribute it over time. Just suggestions.

This was a pretty interesting concept one thing I was wondering about was the corrosion due to the say the water that evaporates, how does it affect the longevity of the panels there. It's been posted on reddit many a times.

Kashi Vishwanath corridor is almost complete. Ready for inauguration in a few weeks. Contractor for this project is PSP projects.

Contribution of temples to domestic tourism is huge . Millions people are employed directly indirectly . Some states like Odisha , Tamilnadu , uttarakhand , UP , andhra are real gainer in this regard .

I was thinking the same even if you compare some indian cities with pakistan's capital islamabad Patna for example, GDP of islamabad is only 2.7 billion dollars , GDP of Patna is 27 billion dollars but islamabad has wide roads its spacious its green patna on the other hand is an old city indian government should make new planned megacities in vicinity of cities like patna to accomodate more population which will boost growth and provide jobs
Infra scene of Patna.

> No drainage anywhere.

If u didn't know Evey block of Islambad is planned meanwhile here in Patna People can build house in between roads and dump sewage along the nearest pond.

Alos right beside Islamabad is Rawalpindi look how good there infra is.

Pinnacle of Indian Urban planning.

And islamabad is built from scratch patna has been there for thousands of years
building a city from scratch is always easy and less expensive and newly built cities always look better than the old ones
The Greater patna project as i have read on the website of patna municipal corporation is gonna be a planned megacity with population of more than 12.12 million it will be 10 times bigger than present day patna in area This project has to be completed by 2031
