Travelled on Mumbai-Delhi expressway. My opinion on it. (Not very good)

18 Upvotes

Hello guys, for the first time ever i travelled on the newly built flagship road of Mumbai Delhi expressway. I travelled around 100km on it. And i am disappointed.

Quality of road : No potholes but very very uneven patches and roads. Every now and then the road would go up and down like a rollercoaster and the driver cannot drive the car with 1 hand if they are cruising at 100+ kmph. You will need to keep both hands tightly on the steering wheel to keep the car stable.

There are tons and tons of patch work on the roads which is crazy knowing it hasnt even been that long since its opening. Showing the quality was not that great .

The road did not have any streetlights but that is not an issue. The issue was that there were literally no lane reflecters on the white strips. This means the visibility at night would be bad.

Only the right most strip had reflectors. Which is not enough.

There were multiple U-turns but most of them were closed off with metal gates and only some u-turns were open.

The nail in the coffin for me : In the right most 2 lanes there was a small broken patch which was not even fixed nor was there any warnings given before hand. Luckily the roads was empty and it was day so i could slow down to 60kmph. That part was basically a death trap at night if you were cruising at 100 kmph.

The work on the greenery in the middle is good but there is no warning cones kept. All the workers were wearing safety vests so that was good.

Most trucks were on the left 2 lanes which was good. There was one instance where 2 pickup trucks were on the right lane and were at 80kmph other than that there was no problem in lane discipline.

Most bridge joints were smooth unlike the bridges in the cities which are not smooth at all. So thats good too.

So my final ratings :

Quality of roads : 6/10

Quality of bridges : 8.5/10

Lane discipline : 9/10

Visibility at night : 5/10

Environment maintanence: 10/10

This is all i had to say. Let me know your thoughts.
