Srinagar: Traffic movement on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway will be allowed from both sides on Wednesday, officials said.
The highway was shut for traffic last week following heavy rains overnight that triggered multiple landslides and also washed away a portion of nearly 40-metre road stretch near Panthiyal tunnel in Ramban district.
“With strenuous and synergetic efforts of administration and NHAI, over last two days, (highway) has been fully restored for vehicular traffic in record time,” a traffic department official told GNS.
He said normal traffic would be allowed from Wednesday morning. “All commuters are hereby advised to follow daily traffic advisory, issued by J&K Traffic Police Headquarters, for hassle free journey.”
He said HMVs operators and owners are requested to desist from overloading.
“It is further requested that vehicle owners must double check the fitness of their vehicles before undertaking journey on Jammu- Srinagar highway”.
