This herculean task was completed by the prestigious the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The tasks include construction of two major tunnels.The 9 kms. Qazigund-Banihal tunnel replaced the earlier 2.5 kms. tunnel along the highway and another 8.75 km Chenani-Nashri tunnel is playing significant role in shortening the travel distance of the highway by almost 60 kms.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5499\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5499\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kashmirhills.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/4lane-highway-tunnel.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5499\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kashmirhills.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/4lane-highway-tunnel.jpg\" alt=\"New 4 Lane highway\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5499\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New 4 Lane highway Tunnel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The highway has made remarkable changes in flow of traffic both into the state as well as out of it. The sight of long and complex snarl-ups and increasing delays are no more. The 4-lane highway has proved significantly effective in not only easing the traffic jam to a larger extent, but has also reduced the traveling distance by plenty of miles.<\/p>\n<p>Quite interesting to note is that with 4-laned highway coming to full operational limits, the earlier 288-kms stretch between Jammu and Srinagar has abridged to 238-kms., and the 10-hous journey will be covered only in matter of 5 hours. Furthermore, the dangerous points like Khooni Nala (bloody path), known for life threatening natural events such as sliding of shooting stones, with speeds equitable to that of a rifle bullet,\u00a0 have taken huge toll on human life on several occasions, has also been separated.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5500\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5500\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kashmirhills.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/New-4-lane-National-Highway.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5500\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kashmirhills.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/New-4-lane-National-Highway.jpg\" alt=\"New 4 Lane highway\" width=\"660\" height=\"378\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5500\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New 4 Lane highway<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The 2-lane tunnel provides a separate escape route, therefore avoiding Patnitop, which is indeed a popular tourist spot for snow skiing, and the vertical Nagroda bypass.
