'''National Highway 1A''' ('''NH 1A''') was a [[National Highway (India)|National Highway]] in [[North India]] that connected the [[Kashmir valley]] to [[Jammu]] and the rest of India. The northern terminal was in [[Uri (India)|Uri]] in [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] and the southern terminal was in [[Jalandhar]]. Stretches of old NH 1A ran through some extremely treacherous [[terrain]] and shut-offs because of [[avalanches]] or [[landslides]] common in Winter months.<ref>[http://www.bentley.com/en-US/Corporate/Publications/Case+Studies/Roads/Highway+1A+India.htm] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120212121955/http://www.bentley.com/en-US/Corporate/Publications/Case+Studies/Roads/Highway+1A+India.htm |date=12 February 2012 }} Feasibility Study and Detailed Engineering for 4 Laning NH1A</ref> The famous Jawahar Tunnel that connects Jammu with the Kashmir Valley across the [[Pir Panjal Range]] falls en route. The total length of NH 1A was 663 km.

New tunnels on the road were planned to reduce the distance between the two cities by 82 km and the travel time by two-thirds. Most of these tunnels such as [[Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Tunnel]] and new [[Banihal#New_double_road_tunnel|Banihal double_road_tunnel]] have been executed and commissioned.<ref>[http://www.jammu-kashmir.com/archives/archives2008/kashmir20080415a.html] Srinagar-Jammu road project, as per a survey, will cut short the distance between the two cities by 82 km</ref>
