What is the News?
The National Highways Authority of India(NHAI) has made it to the Guinness Book of World Records.
What has NHAI done to enter into the Guinness Book of World Records?
NHAI has created a world record by constructing 75 km continuous bituminous concrete in a single lane in the least time–105 hours and 33 minutes.
The record-making single lane was constructed on National Highway(NH) 53 between Amravati and Akola in Maharashtra.
This record was previously achieved by Qatar’s Public Works Authority (ASHGHAL). The road was part of the Al-Khor Expressway, and it had taken 10 days to complete it.
