There can be no doubting the severity of the pothole problem. They have been an ongoing issue throughout India. The pothole issue is a persistent nightmare from which there seems to be no escape for road users in India.

Every week, local, national, and television news outlets report on the tremendous damage potholes are doing to automobiles, motorcycles, and bicycles, leading to numerous insurance claims, severe injuries, and, in some cases, fatalities.

Many have sprung to the fore to handle the issue in a unique way, as Indians are having a difficult time on city streets due to severe rainfall and an ever-increasing quantity of potholes. However, almost all of them are not permanent ways to erase them from the root. Many solutions also cost a lot.

Every year, an additional amount of the budget is set aside for the maintenance and repair of deteriorating roads and potholes. The scenario goes bad and out of control during the rain.

But this time, Mahindra & Mahindra CEO Anand Mahindra has made a recommendation that might help the government save millions, even billions, of dollars. Although he frequently posts motivational videos to his social media page, earning him celebrity-like notoriety there, his most recent concept will wow you with its uniqueness.

I’d say this is an innovation that’s essential for India. Some building/construction material company needs to either emulate this or collaborate with this firm and get it out here pronto!

The idea that he shared went viral on Twitter within seconds, and lots of people are now asking the government to implement this technique. However, no one knows much about it.

So, here are some details about this new technology:

Does “American Road Patch” really solve our pothole problem?

Potholes become waterproof thanks to the American Road Patch, which is discussed in the video shared by Anand Mahindra. High-quality asphalt, polymer, and geosynthetic fiberglass are used to construct the road patch.

The patch provides a watertight barrier when it is put on roadways, filling up cracks and potholes. The patch may be applied to both asphalt and concrete road surfaces thanks to the adhesive backing. The company asserts that this is far superior to conventional road repair methods and offers a long-lasting fix for potholes and fractures in roadways.

Saint-Gobain Adfors is now selling American Road Patch’s patented technology in the United States and Canada. This technology can be used to repair potholes, preserve concrete cracks, seal manhole surrounds, seal utility cuts, fill low spots, repair uneven bridge joints, repair speed bumps, and more.

It may be utilized by public works departments (PWDs), airports, commercial paving businesses, property management, and others.
