The National Highways Authority of India has approved the construction of the second phase of the Pathankot-Mandi four-lane project between 32 Miles and Rajol in Kangra district. The project was awarded to a Gurugram based firm, Gawar Construction Company, at an investment of ₹678 crore and land acquisition for it is in the final stage. Construction will begin after getting mandatory clearances from appropriate agencies.

The width of the road will be between 35 metres and 60 metres, depending on land availability. A 2.5-km bypass will also be constructed at Rait to avoid the dislocation of the market and human settlements and the project will also house 11 bridges. The 219-km four-lane road is one of the strategic projects linking Pathankot with Leh, Ladakh and other forward areas and considering defence requirements, the Centre wants to complete it at the earliest.
