Banihal Bypass
Context
The newly constructed 2.35-kilometer Banihal bypass, part of the Jammu-Srinagar highway’s four-laning project, is set to be operational soon.
About Banihal Bypass and Jammu-Srinagar Highway Project:
- The 35 km Banihal Bypass is part of the four-laning project for the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44).
- The bypass bypasses Banihal town (a major bottleneck), starting from Kharpora and ending near the Navayuga Tunnel.
- The design features four viaducts (1,513 meters in total) and three culverts to ensure smooth traffic flow.
- Impact on Traffic: The bypass is expected to reduce congestion, cut down travel time between key locations like Kharpora, Banihal, and the Navayuga Tunnel to just 7 minutes.
- It will benefit tourists and defense vehicles, which are vital for the region's security, facilitating their faster movement.
