New Recognisation of India - Golden Quadrilateral Raod


The Golden Quadrilateral connect the four metropolises: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. Yet another project will connect the smaller towns with expressways. The end-product will resemble a quadrilateral. The first phase of the 5,846-km long Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) project of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), linking the four metros of Kolkata, New Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai, is nearing completion. Of the 38-lakh-km of roadways in India (the second largest in the world), national highways account for 58,000 km and the balance fall within the purview of the states. The former takes care of 40 per cent of the total traffic handled by all roads.

A good example would be the four-lane expressway developed and maintained by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) between Delhi and Jaipur. The traveller is charged a nominal toll tax and this allows for the maintenance of the highway. These roads are particularly delightful to drive on. But remember, not all roads in India are like this - several are pot-holed and rough.
