Dyod and Hanogi Tunnels Open on Kiratpur-Manali Highway, Reducing Travel Time
Two tunnels, Dyod (2.8 km) and Hanogi (650 m), on the Kiratpur-Manali highway in Himachal Pradesh opened on September 11, easing traffic congestion on the Pandoh-Takoli section of NH-3. The tunnels reduce the affected road stretch from 6 km to 3.5 km, cutting travel time between Mandi and Kullu from about two hours to one. The project, part of a larger four-laning initiative costing over ₹4,465 crore, aims to improve connectivity for commuters and tourists, especially during peak seasons.
