The Jammu-Akhnoor Corridor is undergoing a transformative upgrade, spanning over 25 kilometers to significantly enhance connectivity between Jammu and Akhnoor. With the construction and upgradation of the highway into a four-lane road with paved shoulders, this corridor will see a dramatic reduction in travel time, cutting it from over an hour to just under 40 minutes. This improvement is crucial for the thousands of commuters who rely on this route daily, ensuring smoother and faster journeys that contribute to the region's overall economic and social development.
In addition to improving travel times and road safety, the upgrades to the Jammu-Akhnoor Corridor are strategically important for the region. By enhancing connectivity and easing access to key areas, these projects are expected to boost tourism, foster socio-economic growth, and provide a vital link that supports both local communities and the broader strategic needs of the Jammu region. The comprehensive development of this corridor reflects NHIDCL's commitment to delivering infrastructure that meets both current demands and future growth.
