NEW DELHI: Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has said that the construction of a 224-meter viaduct (double-lane) at Shere bibi, has been successfully completed with an estimated cost of 12 crore.

Gadkari said this infrastructure is situated along the Ramban to Banihal section of NH-44. 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.

He said under the leadership of the Prime Minister Narendra Modithe government remains steadfast in commitment to deliver and exceptional highway infrastructure to the state of Jammu & Kashmir.
