Border Roads Organization (BRO) will build Steel Slag Road in Arunachal Pradesh on a first-of-its-kind pilot project basis. The Steel Slag Road will be a first-of-its-kind project and will be able to withstand heavy rains and adverse climatic conditions. One of the biggest benefits of using steel slag for the construction of roads and bridges is durability. Roads constructed using 100% steel processed slag have proven to be durable as compared to regular bitumen roads. Roads built using cement and concrete last about 30 years as compared to bitumen and steel slag roads which last around 15 years. Prior to the BRO’s project in Arunachal Pradesh; a 1.2-kilometer stretch of road was built in Hazira, Surat using Steel Slag Material. The project was builtas part of an R&D project of the Union Ministry of Steel in collaboration with the CSIR and CRRI.
