“Right now I think we are coming out to do presentation to the new government and I am 100% sure that by the time we finish, the government will look into concrete roads. Because the concrete roads will end up being cheaper than Bitumen and you can’t cheat much with concrete because you can always go and measure the quality of the mixture of the concrete and also the width that has actually been used. Once you finish one road, you don’t go back there for 40/50 years, which is the best”, he said.
