 "verdict": "The expressway is the first Dholera promise that closed: roughly 109 km, reported open since 31 March 2026, cutting a drive of over two hours to 40 to 60 minutes. It rewires labour, logistics, and land logic in Dholera's favour. But a road moves people, it does not create them. Population and housing remain unbuilt. Dated 3 August 2026.",
