According to visuals circulating on social media, a stretch of the expressway near Saharanpur is showing signs of potholes and uneven road surfaces, raising serious concerns about the quality and durability of the construction. The highway, which was recently opened and designed to provide high-speed connectivity between Delhi and Dehradun, is now under public scrutiny after these images went viral online. The visuals have triggered widespread debate about infrastructure standards, construction materials, and maintenance practices used in major highway projects. Many users on social media have questioned how such a newly built expressway could develop damage so quickly, especially after routine monsoon showers. The incident has also sparked concerns about road safety for commuters who rely on this corridor for fast travel. However, as of now, there has been no official confirmation or detailed response from the concerned authorities regarding the alleged damage. The situation continues to draw attention as citizens await clarification and possible inspection findings.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start"> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> <div class="pointer-events-none -mt-px h-px translate-y-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom)-14*var(--spacing))]" aria-hidden="true"> </div>abplive · india
