A Discussion on Cliff Hanger Road by BCMTians :
A : Any one knows how long is the Cliff Hanger Section road between Gulabgarh and Keylong.
B : Cliff hanger is about 5 KMS long
Or lesser
A : It is only just about 1.1 to 1.4km long, but it feels linger cause of the apprehension, and that you are in 1st gear all the way on this section, so time gets distorted in the brain.
I confirmed it from my images and good measuring tool.
In another years time, the bypass to Cliff Hanger section will be complete, and unlikely any repair work or effort to keep cliff hanger open will be undertaken, so if you have not done it, do it now before the bypass road above it is ready.
when we were there, we had to halt for an hour, as the work was bing progressed on the upper bypass and rocks were rolling down, Finally after an hour, when it was safe they allowed us to go. and you can see marks of rubble of rock and road cutting going down the upper road visible on the left of the image, where they have reached and progressing
Everyone i asked all said it is around 5km, just shows how time can get distorted depending on situation.
You can see in the image where i have marked, the entire top part is done, now only linking to lower road is left, and yo can see the two z sections below the upper road
The problem is the unlike national highways, here the money is released bit by bit from year to year,
B : It has been going on since last many years but the upper road is nowhere complete each year they say say it would be completed next year
(B : RT)
