Construction of 224-meter viaduct (2-Lane) completed at J&K’s Sherebibi: Nitin Gadkari  

JAMMU, 16 October 2023: Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari in a post on X said, “In Jammu & Kashmir, we have successfully completed the construction of a 224-meter viaduct (2-lane) at Sherebibi, with an estimated cost of 12 crores.”

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.

The Minister said that it is important to note that this project contributes to the region’s economic growth and enhances its overall connectivity. He said under the visionary leadership of the PM Narendra Modi we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering exceptional highway infrastructure to Jammu & Kashmir.
