NHAI officials indicated that an incredible two lakh metric tonnes of steel were utilized in the building of the Expressway, an amount that exceeds the amount used for constructing the iconic Eiffel Tower by a factor of 30.
Similarly, 20 lakh cubic meters of concrete have been used in building the structure - six times more than that of Burj Khalifa. To add to this, 12,000 trees were moved during the building process - a first for India, given the sheer size of it.
