The crucial Z-Morh tunnel that connects Gagangir and Sonamarg on the Srinagar-Leh highway will be inaugurated in April 2023 according to Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari.
Zoji-Morh tunnel is an under-construction tunnel located in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.
It is a 6.5 km long tunnel between Gagangir and Sonamarg on the Srinagar-Leh highway.
The tunnel is being constructed at an altitude of 11,578 feet and will provide all-weather connectivity to the Kashmir Valley.
The project is being implemented by the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL).
This tunnel will reduce the travel time between Srinagar and Leh by about four hours.
