Yea great roads!
Roads through forests, through reserved areas, through fragile mountains, through wildlife corridors.
When the history of the last decade is written, on the big plus side for the Modi govt will be undoubtedly this: the pace with which road networks are transforming travel. We took around 15-20 minutes to drive through Atal Sethu bridge from Uran to Central Mumbai.. Toll for one
