“Heartfelt gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji and Hon’ble Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari Ji for transforming J&K’s highways and road connectivity. The completion of 810m long Viaduct near Ramsoo in Ramban district and 3.5-km AT-03 Tunnel connecting Digdole to Panthyal on NH-44 is yet another monumental feat,” LG Sinha posted on his official ‘X’ handle.
“These key infrastructures secure smooth and all-weather movement for locals, tourists, freight and security forces, while ensuring a safer and seamless journey for the pilgrims of Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra 2026, bypassing landslide-prone stretches,” the Lieutenant Governor said, responding to the Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari’s post.
The landmark road infrastructures are scheduled to open for traffic on July 3, 2026.
Earlier, the Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had announced on his official ‘X’ handle about the successful completion of these two very crucial infrastructure projects, describing them as “engineering marvels” by-passing “one of the most landslide-prone stretches of the Ramban-Banihal section and ensuring safer, faster, and all-weather connectivity to the Kashmir valley.”
