Two Tunnels to Open on Kiratpur-Manali Highway, Easing Traffic in Himachal Pradesh
Two new tunnels, Diyod (2.8 km) and Hanogi (650 m), on the Kiratpur-Manali highway in Himachal Pradesh will open on September 11, easing traffic congestion on the Pandoh-Takoli section of NH-3. The tunnels aim to reduce travel time between Mandi and Kullu from about two hours to one hour by bypassing bottlenecks near Jogni Mata Mandir. Part of a Rs 4,465.94-crore four-laning project under Hybrid Annuity Mode, this development is expected to improve connectivity towards Manali and Leh-Ladakh.
