Length and elevation
The average elevation of the railway tunnel is Шаблон:Convert or about Шаблон:Convert below the existing road tunnel, the Jawahar Tunnel, which is at elevation of about Шаблон:Convert.[1] The tunnel is Шаблон:Convert wide with a height of Шаблон:Convert. There is a Шаблон:Convert road along the length of the tunnel for the maintenance of railway tracks and emergency relief. It takes approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds for the train to pass through the tunnel.[2][3]
For a short time, Banihal-Qazigund Railway Tunnel was India's longest railway tunnel.[2] Once completed, the 11.55 km long rail tunnel between Senapati and Imphal West districts on Jiribam–Imphal line will surpass the Pir Panjal Railway Tunnel as India's longest tunnel.[4]
Progress of the project
The new Banihal-Qazigund tunnel for the Jammu–Baramulla line connecting Bichleri Valley of Banihal with Qazigund area of Kashmir Valley has been constructed as a part of its Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link project. The boring was completed in four years in October 2011, its lining and laying of rail tracks was completed in the next one year and trial run commenced on 28 December 2012. The tunnel was commissioned on 26 June 2013 and commercial runs started from 27 June 2013.
The rail tunnel reduces the distance between Quazigund and Banihal by Шаблон:Convert (from Шаблон:Convert by road to Шаблон:Convert by train).[5] Banihal railway station is situated at Шаблон:Convert above mean sea level. The railway network in Kashmir from Banihal to Baramulla is now Шаблон:Convert. Until the Шаблон:Convert Katra-Banihal section of Jammu–Baramulla line gets constructed, people can travel from Jammu Tawi or Udhampur to Banihal by road and take the train from Banihal to Srinagar through the Banihal railway tunnel.
