Commuters on the Rishikesh-Gangotri national highway will soon get relief from the new sliding zone. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) team has started the treatment of sliding and danger zones at Nagni and Chamba, near Bhinnu Gadera on the highway. It is expected that the work will be completed before the start of the Char Dham Yatra.
The construction work of all weather road in Tehri district is in the final stages. But even after the construction of the all weather road, several roads on the Rishikesh-Gangotri highway still remain dangerous due to which travelers face problems. Notably, the rains last monsoon season had resulted in washing away of about 40 metres of the highway at Bhinnu Gadera near Fakot.
