JAMMU: The construction of a 224-meter viaduct (2-lane) at Jammu and Kashmir's Sherebibi with an estimated cost of Rs 12 crore has successfully been completed, minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari said on Monday.
The 224- meter infrastructure is situated along the Ramban to Banihal section of National Highway-44.
The 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.
It will significantly facilitate the smooth flow of vehicles, bypassing the challenging terrain of Sherebibi Area gradients.
