The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway remains closed since Sunday when a portion of the road caved in at Kelamorh near Ramban town on Sunday evening.
Reports said that a 16-meter retaining wall of a bridge collapsed which led to the sinking of a 50 meter portion of the road. The spot is adjacent to an under-construction tunnel.
A team of Border Roads Organization engineers along with material for erecting a temporary bridge reached Kelamorh Wednesday evening.
They informed the Greater Kashmir that the work for erecting the temporary bridge will start on Thursday.
