PM Narendra Modi inaugurates this tunnel on 2nd April 2017. A 9.2 km long tunnel (Chenani-Nashri Tunnel) is being constructed (work will likely be completed on 25th September 2016). It will reduce the distance from Chenani to Nashri by 31 km and reduce traffic jams on NH-1A that occur due to snowfall and avalanche in winter at Patnitop.
In addition to the main road tunnel, there will be a smaller parallel escape tunnel for emergency services and extraction of smoke and persons in case of fire and accident.


It is also known as Patnitop bypass road tunnel as that is the primary function of this tunnel.
