NHAI launches construction of four-lane Kangra-Shimla NH project
The use of grid-based road technology, which saves hills from vertical cutting, will make the Kangra-Shimla highway the first of its kind to be built in view of the fragile hills of the state and repeated landslides on highways. The first lane is built on a higher slope and the second lane on a lower slope, creating a grid of two separate roads running parallel on the hills. The longest tunnel will be constructed between Shalaghat and Piplu Ghat, reducing maintenance costs and providing a safe passage.
