It was briefly reopened on August 30, but closed again. In total, the highway had remained blocked for 14 days.<br \/>\nThe Kishtwar-Sinthan-Anantnag and Srinagar-Sonamarg-Gumri roads were also reopened on Wednesday, an official said.<br \/>\n\u201cWorks were affected by heavy intermittent rains. After resuming work on a war-footing from September 7, a 300-metre diversion road was constructed, and today traffic has been restored on the highway,\u201d said an official of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI).<br \/>\nThe vehicle movements are going on smoothly after the reopening of the highway, he added.<br \/>\nOn September 2, a massive landslide measuring about 550 x 300 metres struck the highway near Thard-Jakheni in Udhampur district, burying the road under heavy debris, the NHAI official said.<br \/>\n\u201cFrom the very night of the incident, NHAI officials and hundreds of workers laboured tirelessly through rains, mud and repeated disruptions to clear the highway. Despite challenges, the team stayed on the ground 24\u00d77 and restored it,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nThe official added that it is the most difficult stretch as the highway had to be rebuilt in the wake of a massive landslide.<br \/>\nOfficials said authorities are trying to clear the highway of stranded vehicles, particularly those carrying essential supplies to Kashmir Valley, Doda and Kishtwar districts.<br \/>\nThe pilgrimage to the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine atop Trikuta Hills also remained suspended for the 16th consecutive day on Wednesday.<br \/>\nThe Srinagar-Sonamarg-Gumri highway, which was also closed due to a landslide near Rusool Mode in the Zojila belt, has reopened, they said. The Sinthan road has been restored as well.<br \/>\nTraffic on the inter-regional Mughal Road, which connects Jammu region\u2019s Poonch district with Kashmir\u2019s Shopian district, is moving smoothly, while the Batote-Doda-Kishtwar road remains closed due to landslides.<br \/>\nThe closure of highways and other inter-regional roads to Kashmir resulted in over 4,000 vehicles getting stranded at various places in Kathua, Samba, Jammu, Udhampur, Ramban, the Kashmir Valley, and Punjab, officials said.<br \/>\nThe recent floods and landslides have damaged nearly 12,000 kilometres of road in Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32544\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32544\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-32544\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hIGHWAY-3-300x171.jpg\" alt=\"Jammu-Srinagar National Highway Reopens After Nine Days\" width=\"300\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hIGHWAY-3-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hIGHWAY-3-1024x582.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hIGHWAY-3-768x437.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hIGHWAY-3-549x312.jpg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hIGHWAY-3-470x267.jpg 470w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hIGHWAY-3-233x133.jpg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hIGHWAY-3-230x131.jpg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hIGHWAY-3-360x205.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hIGHWAY-3-100x57.jpg 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hIGHWAY-3.jpg 1482w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32544\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jammu-Srinagar National Highway Reopens After Nine Days<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAMMU, Sept 9: The Jammu-Srinagar national highway was reopened for vehicular traffic on Wednesday, after remaining closed for nine days.
