Manali-Leh route expected to be open by May 5
Good
news for the adventure travelers. The Manali Leh route will be opened for
vehicular movement by first week of May.
Border
Road Organization (BRO) is working day night to make sure the Manali-Leh
highway is open way before the deadline this year. Normally the road is opened
after 15th May every year.
Manali-
Leh National Highway remains closed from November to May due to heavy snowfall.
The
work on Rohtang Tunnel is underway and very soon it will be open for the
general public in 2019. Once the tunnel will be opened then Manali-Leh Highway
will become an all weather road that will help the Indian Army to run its
operations smoothly in Ladakh region.
The
adventure enthusiasts will have one more reason to smile as they can reach Leh
from Manali any time during the year.
Rohtang
Tunnel, with 8.8 km (5.5 mi) length, will be one of the longest road
tunnels in India (the longest road tunnel in India is the Chenani-Nashri
Tunnel or Patnitop tunnel north of Udhampur)
Once
oprrational in 2019 the Rohtang Tunnel expected to reduce the distance between Manali
and Keylong by about 60 km. The tunnel is at 3,100 metres
(10,171 ft) elevation whereas the Rohtang Pass is at 3,978 metres
(13,051 ft) elevation 51 km (32 mi) away from Manali.
The
excavation of the tunnel completed in October 2017 when the blasting from south
and north ends joined and the completed tunnel may open in 2019.
