Along the highway

The expansion of Sarkhej-Gandhinagar highway with a couple of lanes on each side required a fresh new road construction, and on top is a layer of bitumen which needs some time to harden up. Now so that the people do not accidentally drive over the newly laid surface and so spoil the road, the contractor has placed some brick and stone pieces randomly on it. I am not sure if this has a safety intention too. But surely this is cheaper than the incalculable length of an expensive ‘keep-out’ yellow ribbon. A work of art for sure, and thus, the unknown contractor finding his name on this (my artisans) hall of name.
