Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said in a post on Monday that the construction of a 224-meter viaduct (a bridge with arches) has been successfully completed in J&K state at an estimated cost of ₹12 crores. This bridge is located in the Ramban to Banihal section of the NH-44 highway. This bridge eases the smooth flow of vehicles avoiding difficult terrain and also reduces travel distance of 125 meters and skips steep gradients and 80-degree hill slopes.
