Plants you mean ? True that. 90% die, 10 % survive. Those surviving plants grow into large trees that would need to be cut for road expansion. Cycle of life for trees it would seem.

The 700 km Samruddhi express highway will connect Mumbai with the state's second capital of Nagpur and pass through 10 districts ( Nagpur, Wardha, Amravati, Washim, Buldana, Jalna, Aurangabad, Ahmednagar etc) and 26 talukas. The Samruddhi Expressway will be a six-lane road, with 390 bridges and seven or eight toll plazas. The expressway is designed for vehicular speeds up to 150km per hour

To be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 46,000, the project is expected to provide a major boost to the economically backward districts of the states by providing port connectivity to the hinterlands of the state. The express project involves development of agro development nodes or Krushi Samruddi Kendras and incorporate features like automatic number plate registration, access control and an underground network of optical fibre and utilities.

It will have around 50+ flyovers, 24+ interchanges, more than 5 tunnels, 400+ vehicular and 300+ pedestrian underpasses provided at strategic locations. These underpasses and flyovers will be beneficial to those vehiclesleaving or joining the expressway without disturbing the traffic flow. It will also benefit local citizens to go abouttheir travel without any hindrance and also prevent accidents.
