Gadkari dedicates Raavi bridge

 

 

About 26% of the work of Rs.6,808 crore Zojila tunnel and approach road on NH-1 has been completed on Srinagar-Leh Corridor, said the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.

The Zojila Tunnel will be Asia’s longest 14.2 km long two-lane tunnel, which will prove to be a milestone all weather road in the forward region. This strategically important tunnel will drastically reduce the travel time from three and a half hours to just 15 minutes between Srinagar and Leh.

A 62-km long 4-lane ring road is being constructed in the Srinagar city at the cost of Rs 1,860 crore. The road begins from Ganderbal on NH-44 and ends at Vayul on NH-1D. It will connect 54 villages in six districts, said the ministry.

About 25% work on the 58.255 km 4-lane Jammu Ring Road has been completed. The total cost of this project is Rs.1,891 crore.

The project involves construction of eight major bridges, 22 minor bridges, six flyovers, and two tunnels of 770 meters and 710 meters, respectively, the ministry said.

Two major road corridors are being built in J&K– Jammu–Srinagar and Srinagar–Leh. The Chenani-Nashri tunnel road under the first is the largest highway tunnel in the country. It has resulted in reducing the travel time between Jammu and Srinagar by two and a half hours, while the distance between the two has come down by 30 kms.

Meanwhile, a 1,210-meter span-bridge over the river Raavi in Jammu and Kashmir was dedicated to the nation on 22 Jan 2019 by Road Transport & Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari.

This Rs.158.84 crore bridge will benefit over 220,000 people living on the two sides – Kathua in Jammu, and Pathankot in Punjab. This will reduce the distance between the two cities from 45 kms to 8.6 kms, which will save on both time and fuel cost. fiinews.com
