Taj Mahal of paving

摘要

A major new toll highway in India opened late last year and utilized Portland cement concrete (PCC) throughout, a rarity in India. In India, typically major highways are constructed of bituminous concrete, but the 102-mile-long Yamuna Expressway-India's longest-is constructed of rigid PCC, one of only two in the nation. The Yamuna Expressway-built from 2008 to 2012-runs from Agra (home of the famed Taj Mahal) in the south to Noida in the north. Noida is located just southeast of New Delhi, in the north-central state of Uttar Pradesh at the foot of the Himalayas.
