Parwanoo-Waknaghat Highway: NHAI’s Landslide Defence Takes Shape
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is undertaking extensive stabilisation work along the landslide-prone Parwanoo-Waknaghat highway. The project, initiated after significant damage during the 2023 monsoon season, is crucial for ensuring safe passage.
The NHAI is employing a combination of wire netting and shotcrete techniques to reinforce vulnerable slopes. This approach ensures a customized solution tailored to the specific geological challenges of each site.
Engineers are focusing on long-term stability, mitigating the risk of future landslides and ensuring the highway’s continued functionality. The project represents a significant investment in infrastructure resilience.
The successful completion of this project will not only improve connectivity in the region but also boost economic activity, impacting the livelihoods of those dependent on the highway. This proactive approach by the NHAI sets a vital precedent for tackling infrastructure challenges in landslide-prone areas across the country.
