Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari announced the "world's first" bamboo crash barrier. It is 200 meters long. It has been made on the highway connecting the Chandrapur and Yavatmal districts of Maharashtra.
Nitin Gadkari tweeted, “An extraordinary accomplishment towards achieving AatmanirbharBharat has been made with the development of the world's first 200-meter-long Bamboo Crash Barrier, which has been installed on the Vani-Warora Highway, Vidarbha, Maharashtra.”
He further added, “The bamboo species used in the making of this barrier is Bambusa Balcoa, which has been treated with creosote oil and coated with recycled High-Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE). This achievement is remarkable for the bamboo sector and India as a whole, as this crash barrier offers a perfect alternative to steel and addresses environmental concerns and their aftermath. Furthermore, it is a rural and agriculture-friendly industry in itself, making it an even more significant milestone.”
