Jammu-Srinagar Highway to remain closed on Friday

Jammu, Jan 21 (IANS) The Jammu-Srinagar Highway will remain closed on Friday for maintenance operations, an official statement said.

“Tomorrow on 22-01-2021, no vehicular movement shall be allowed on Jammu-Srinagar National Highway in view of maintenance/repairing of the road,” traffic police said in a statement.

After remaining closed for a week due to the collapse of a bridge at Kela Morh, Ramban, around 150 km from Jammu, the road was thrown open for a one way traffic with the installation of a bailey bridge on last Saturday.

The highway is the main road link connecting the Kashmir Valley with the rest of the country.

The Mughal road which is a second road link connecting the Kashmir Valley with the Jammu region is also closed due to snow accumulation.
