Jammu and Kashmir Launches Rs 2,765 Crore Sudhmahadev-Dranga Twin-Tube Tunnel Project
The Sudhmahadev-Dranga twin-tube tunnel project on NH-244 in Jammu and Kashmir aims to improve all-weather connectivity through challenging mountainous terrain. The Rs 2,765.71-crore project includes two uni-directional tunnels totaling 12.85 km, approach roads, viaducts, and bridges. Managed by NHIDCL, it seeks to provide a reliable alternative route in the Chenab region, with construction periods ranging from 28 to 48 months.
