Chenani-Nashri Tunnel

2017 · 21st century · Also known as Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Tunnel, Patnitop Tunnel

The Chenani-Nashri Tunnel is a road tunnel of about 9.2 kilometres on the Jammu–Srinagar highway in Jammu and Kashmir, India, running beneath the Patnitop range between Chenani in Udhampur district and Nashri in Ramban district. Opened in April 2017, it was then India's longest road tunnel and shortened the route by around 30 kilometres, bypassing a stretch often closed by snow and landslides. It was later renamed after Syama Prasad Mookerjee.
