A tunnel will be constructed in Rudraprayag to connect Rudraprayag-Gaurikund and Rishikesh-Badrinath National Highways in Chardham Development Project. The construction of the 920-meter long tunnel has got theoretical approval from the Indian government.
BRO has been instructed to prepare DPR. This tunnel connecting both highways will be the longest tunnel in Uttarakhand. Under the Char Dham Vikas Project, a tunnel will be constructed near Jawadi Bypass Bridge built in Jagatoli (ahead of the PWD office) in Rudraprayag, which will reach some distance from the Belni population area on the Rudraprayag-Chopta-Pokhri motorway on the other end. This bridge will be connected to Badrinath National Highway on the Alaknanda River. By the formation of this tunnel, connecting the two highways will get rid of the jam in the main market.
