Which of the following infrastructure components are included in the Zojila Tunnel Project? (1) Snow galleries (2) Avalanche protection structures (3) Bi-directional horse shoe passage (4) Inland waterways
(1), (2) and (3) only
The Zojila Tunnel is being built under the Zojila Pass on the Srinagar-Leh highway to give all-weather road connectivity between the Kashmir valley and Ladakh. At about 13 km it will be the longest road tunnel in India.
The main tunnel is a single-tube, bi-directional road tunnel with a horseshoe-shaped cross-section. The approach road includes snow galleries, cut-and-cover sections and avalanche protection structures to keep traffic moving in heavy snowfall.
Inland waterways have nothing to do with this high-altitude road project, so component (4) is not included.
Hence, (1), (2) and (3) only.
