The construction of the Shimla Bypass will also alleviate the traffic burden on Shimla city, as tourists traveling to popular destinations like Kufri, Narkanda, Naldehra Tattapani, and Kinnaur will no longer need to pass through the city. Moreover, it will help reduce vehicular and parking congestion in the city and create opportunities for expansion. The second stretch of the bypass, from Shakral to Dhalli, will feature the world's longest extra-dosed single span bridge, stretching 280 meters between two pillars, standing at 620 feet tall, costing Rs 600 crore. Gawar Infrastructure Company in Gurgaon will handle this project.
