A Maharashtra-based Raj Path Infrastructure has entered the Guinness Book of World Records for successfully laying 28.95 km of Bituminous Concrete (BC) road in 24 hours. The road is part of the NH-544G Greenfield Highway in Sri Sathya Sai district of Andhra Pradesh.

The record-setting road work has been carried out from Sadarlapalli in Puttaparthi assembly constituency and is part of the Amaravati-Bangalore Expressway.

Representatives of Raj Path Infrastructure met Puttaparthi MLA Palle Sindhura Reddy on Friday. They handed over a copy of the Guinness World Record certificate, expressing gratitude to the MLA for extending all necessary support for completing the highway stretch within a record time.

The NH-544G Greenfield Highway is being developed to improve connectivity in the region and provide faster and smoother road links. The achievement by the Maharashtra-based company is being viewed as a significant milestone in construction of highways.

Raj Path Infrastructure already has two entries in the Guinness Book of World Records. The company has now broken its own records while building the Amaravati-Bangalore Expressway in Sathya Sai district.

The record road construction started at 8 a.m. on January 5. By the time it ended at 8 a.m. January 6, 28.95 km of the road had been laid using 7,500 metric tonnes of concrete and asphalt, company authorities disclosed.
