The Chenani-Nashri Tunnel, also known as the Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Tunnel, is 9.28 kilometers (5.8 miles) long. It holds the distinction of being India's longest road tunnel and is a significant infrastructural achievement in the country. The tunnel, located on National Highway 44 in the Lower Himalayas, provides a crucial all-weather link between Jammu and Srinagar, reducing both the distance and travel time between these cities. It also bypasses areas prone to snowfall and avalanches, enhancing travel safety and reliability, particularly during the winter months.
