The Srinagar Ring Road project offers significant benefits for both the client, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), and the end users. For NHAI, the primary advantage is the substantial regional development facilitated by the project, which aims to eliminate the current traffic congestion in Srinagar city and promote smoother, more efficient transportation.
The new Outer Ring Road Phase-I will effectively reduce the congestion caused by residential and commercial construction along the existing bypass. Starting at the outer periphery of Srinagar city, approximately 9 kilometers from the current bypass, and ending 8.5 kilometers away, this Ring Road will provide a much-needed alternative route. It will enable commuters to bypass the heavily congested areas, ensuring more efficient connectivity to district headquarters and major roads in Pulwama, Budgam, Srinagar, Baramulla, and Bandipora.
