Road Congress in Bombay:
By the time the Nagpur plan came to a close, the roads had reached the desired length, but they lacked numerous essential components. A reassessment of the Nagpur plan was necessary due to the altered agricultural, industrial, and economic circumstances in the nation. Consequently, the Government of India's Roads department created a 20-year plan that became known as the Bombay plan.
The plan's salient features were:
From 1961 to 1981, it was the second 20-year road plan.
The entire length of the planned road was approximately 10 lakhs.
Roads in rural areas received particular attention. For the rural roads, scientific construction techniques were suggested. State PWDs should provide the Panchayaths with the required technical guidance.
They recommended that the route's length be extended to achieve a road density of 32 km/100 sq km.
The proposal then envisioned the construction of 1600 km of expressways.
