In Jammu and Kashmir, in a significant development, the construction of 1.08 km long, 2-lane viaduct has been completed in Ramban district.  

Our Jammu Correspondent reports that the viaduct, built at a cost of Rs 140 Crore, on the Udhampur-Ramban section of the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44) will ensure the smoother movement of vehicles and relieve the congestion in Ramban Bazar. The construction of this 26-span viaduct incorporates various structural arrangements utilizing concrete and steel girders. It will also facilitate the seamless passage of vehicles and pilgrims traffic during Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway.

 Additionally, another 2-Lane viaduct, running parallel to this structure, is nearing completion and will be opened soon. Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha expressed his gratitude to the Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Nitin Gadkari for the unprecedented development of highways and road infrastructure in the Union Territory.

The completion of the 2-lane Ramban Viaduct marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to enhance transportation infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir. This additional infrastructure development will further improve connectivity and transportation efficiency in the region.
