'''Gaurav Path''' is an [[Controlled-access highway|expressway]] in [[Piplod, Surat|Piplod]], [[Surat]], [[India]]. It was designed and constructed by the [[Surat Municipal Corporation]] as a part of a plan to connect [[Surat]] City with its [[Surat Airport|airport]], Magdalla Sea Port and Dumas Village.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Gaurav Paths to add to Surat glitz {{!}} Ahmedabad News - Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Gaurav-Paths-to-add-to-Surat-glitz/articleshow/1451782.cms|date=March 16, 2006|first=Amarendra|last=Jha|website=The Times of India|language=en|access-date=2020-05-02}}</ref> The expressway replaced the prior Surat-Dumas Road and is one of the best examples of Town and City Planning in India.{{Citation needed|date=May 2008}}<br />
<br />
This expressway has three travel lanes in each direction, two service lanes and a [[BRTS|Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS)]] lane in each direction. There are only two exits, the [[SVNIT]] Circle at Icchanath and Kargil Chowk at Piplod. It was designed to meet international standards and was integrated with BRTS. There is a study being carried out on IPTS (Integrated Public Transport System) by CES which is supported by the GIDB (Gujarat Industrial development Board).<br />
<br />
There are several illuminated bus stops either side of the expressway, which can be accessed through paved, broad footpaths. These footpaths divide the expressway with its service roads on either side.<br />
<br />
The road also features [[robotic]] street sweeping systems, operated by the Surat Municipal Corporation.<br />
