The construction on phase one of the Kangra-Shimla four-lane project between Kangra and Ranital has begun.The project, when completed, will reduce the distance by 45 km (from 225 km to 180 km), he said. “The stretch will have nine tunnels and four high-rise bridges. It will bypass major towns like Darlaghat, Bilaspur, Hamirpur and Jwalamukhi. There will be three toll plazas at Ghanatti, Hamirpur and Jwalamukhi. The speed limit would be 60 km per hour and the travel time will be reduced from six hours to four hours if going by car. Fuel consumption will also come down. Besides, the lesser curves on the highway will reduce the accident rate, providing more safety to road users. The longest tunnel will be between Shalaghat and Piplu Ghat”, he further stated
