Old major NH bridges to get smart sensors for early warning alerts Highway authorities will now install advanced sensors on old major bridges across National Highways for continuous health monitoring. This initiative aims to detect abnormal behavior early, enabling prompt corrective actions and preventing potential mishaps. The system will be operational for at least 10 years after installation. #National_Highways #health_monitoring #smart_sensors #alerts_Highway #Highway_authorities #warning_alerts #install_advanced #continuous_health #major_bridges #advanced_sensors
Construction, award of highway projects at 7-year low in 2025-26 Highway construction and new project awards in 2025-26 hit a seven-year low, with less than 10,000 km built and only 7,000 km awarded. This decline is attributed to stricter land availability pre-conditions and fewer state highways being converted to National Highways. Agencies are prioritizing economic corridors and expressways to avoid project delays and cost escalations. #2025-26 #National_Highways #2025-26_hit #seven-year_low #2025-26_Highway #Highway_construction #project_awards #Construction #low #highway_projects
