    Due to its predominantly mountainous terrain, the state islinked with the country's rail network up to the Udhampurdistrict.

    With a view to provide an alternative and a reliabletransportation system to Jammu & Kashmir, theGovernment of India is developing a 345 km long railway

    line joining the Kashmir valley with the Indian Railwaysnetwork.

    Of the many bridges on the route, the Chenab Bridge,which would be built over the Chenab river, would be thehighest railway structure of its kind in the world (35 metreshigher than the tip of the Eiffel Tower in Paris).

    Work on connecting Srinagar and Baramullah is

    underway. The Udhampur-Katra (25 km), Katra-Qazigund(148 km) and Qazigund-Baramullah (119 km) rail linkshave been taken up for construction as national priorityprojects.

    The first phase of the project between Qazigund andBanihal, costing US$147.3 million and involving an 11 kmlong tunnel between the Pir Panjal range, wasinaugurated on 25th June, 2013, and the entire project isexpected to be completed by 2017-18.

    Socioeconomic impact of the Jammu and Kashmir railway project:

    It would provide all-weather and reliable connectivity to Jammu and Kashmir, including remote areas, from the rest ofthe country by rail.

    With the completion of approach roads, more than 73 villages would get connected, thereby providing roadconnectivity to about 1,47,000 people. Of the 262 km of approach roads to be constructed, 145 km have been

    completed, and 29 villages have been connected.

    Direct employment to about 7,000 local people and indirect employment to thousands for the projects day-to-dayrequirements; this would help mitigate militancy

    A member each from families that have lost more than 75 per cent of their land to projects would receive a job inrailways. So far, over 300 jobs have been given under the programme.

    The NHAI has undertaken a project to upgrade the present national highway (NH 44) stretch from Jammu to Srinagar intofour lanes. The project includes two major tunnels at a cost of US$ 1,952 million.

    The Chenani-Nashri Tunnel, which is being created through the Mury formation range of the Shivalik range at an elevation of1.2 km, is 9 km long. It will be the longest tunnel in the country, when completed in 2016.
