Jammu Srinagar National Highway Traffic Plan for 27.03.2017

The narrow width of NHW at Mehar, Panthyal and Ramsoo coupled with overall condition of the NHW form Zig-Jawahar Tunnel and Ramban-Jawahar Tunnel gives tough time to the Traffic Police in regulation of traffic. The width of the road at the above said locations is narrow and therefore not feasible for two-way traffic.

In view of the above and subject to fair weather/ good condition of road and clearance from Traffic Control Units, one way movement of traffic shall be allowed on NHW on 27.03.2017. Under the said plan movement of traffic shall be allowed from Jammu towards Srinagar side in a regulated manner. Movement of LMVs/passenger vehicles/Tankers shall be allowed from Nagrota (Jammu) from 0700 hours up to 1000 hours and from Udhampur up to 1100 hours only. The movement of HMVs (excluding Trailers/multi-axle vehicles) including convoys of Army, BSF, CRPF etc. shall be allowed from Nagrota (Jammu) from 0730 hours up to 1030 hours and from Udhampur up to 1130 hours only.

No movement of traffic including that of convoys of Army, BSF, CRPF etc. shall be allowed from Srinagar towards Jammu side on 27.03.2017 under any circumstances to ensure smooth flow of traffic on the NHW.

Commuters are requested/advised that vehicles are not parked in any landslide/avalanche/vulnerable zones of NHW especially from Ramsoo – Jawahar Tunnel – Levdora under any circumstances. All the vulnerable/avalanche prone zones should be kept free from any kind of traffic to avoid any eventuality.
