Estimated cost of the project is Rs 2.7 m and troops are carrying out the project under close supervision of the Plant Engineer Brigade. The expansion of the road's existing width by removing soil and drilling bore holes to take away boulders and rocks alongside the road is currently being done by the troops.

With this expansion of roadsides, the people in the area would be benefited as two vehicles could easily pass each other moving towards the opposite directions.

The project started during the end of the year 2020.
