VADODARA: The Vadodara Municipal Corporation has planned on revamping the roads by scraping off the existing road surfaces. This is done to ensure that the roads’ thickness does not create a situation of waterlogging. The material that will be set aside in the process will be reused. The VMC, so far, has kept on layering the roads with bitumen mix making them thicker and not at all permeable.
However, the process should include scraping of the road before resurfacing it. Residents have already registered the complaint against the roads being too thick and eliminating the waterlogging woes.  Hitendra Patel, Chairman, VMC Standing Committee ensured that new ways of constructing roads, which is by making them more permeable would reduce such chances. This way of reusing the material after scraping off the road is also a very environment-friendly way of constructing roads, Patel stated.
  Having mentioned that, all the new road construction project and revamping of the existing ones will be undertaken via the new method, he added.
