Crown Road work restarted

The Foundation appointed FAMC explained that the Crown work continues under the supervision of CPWD and L’avenir d’Auroville, and is planned to be finished as per schedule. The road re-laying work has restarted on the stretch of road passing by the Youth Centre where the old paving blocks were taken up. The reason for the delay in the work is that L’Avenir d’Auroville and CPWD decided to go for a precast concrete road to ensure it will last much longer, with almost zero maintenance. The Foundation FAMC claims this has resulted in a better design than before, both technically and aesthetically. The installation of these much larger pre-cast panels will go faster than the laying of the originally intended pavers, thus making up for any lost time.
