India’s longest road tunnel to open for traffic next year

  • India’s longest road tunnel, being built on Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, will be opened for general traffic in July next year and would reduce the distance between the two cities by 30 kms.
  • The 9.2 km tunnel is part of 286 km-long four-laning project of the Jammu-Srinagar national highway.
  • Once this tunnel becomes operational it will reduce the traffic jams on National Highway-1A that occur due to snowfall and avalanche in winter at Patnitop.
