Ramban to Banihal section of NH-44 by pass is on a challenging terrain
The construction of a 224-meter viaduct (2-lane) at Sherebibi in Jammu & Kashmir, costing Rs.12 crores, has been completed, says Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari.
“This infrastructure is situated along the Ramban to Banihal section of NH-44,” he said on 16 Oct 2023.
This 224-meter segment, as part of the broader project, not only reduces the travel distance by 125 meters, thus mitigating steep gradients, but also avoids the need for a steep cutting with a hill slope angle exceeding 80 degrees.
Furthermore, it significantly facilitates the smooth flow of vehicles, bypassing the challenging terrain of Sherebibi Area gradients.
The Minister said it’s important to note that this project contributes to the region’s economic growth and enhances its overall connectivity. Fiinews.com
