NHIDCL begins work on 230 km Kargil-Zanskar NH
The 230 km long Kargil-Zanskar National Highway will become an all-weather road as the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corp has begun work for its up-gradation and widening. This is the second continuous year that the Kargil-Zanskar highway has been operational during the winter season. The widening project of the Kargil-Zanskar highway with the existing length of 234 km spans 32 villages.
The project, with the desired length of 230 km, has been divided into eight packages for execution. Once completed, it will ensure all-weather connectivity between Kargil and the remote Zanskar valley. It will also prove to be a valuable infrastructure asset for the movement of troops and heavy weapons and equipment, especially on the completion of the Shinku La Tunnel.
