The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway (NH-44) remained open to regulated two-way traffic despite slow, intermittent movement caused by rain damage, four-laning works, narrow carriageways and temporary restrictions. Single-lane regulation exists at a 30, 40 metre rain-damaged stretch in Dewal, Udhampur, with NHAI restoration underway. Tanker movements face night-only windows beyond Chenani; authorities urged motorists to heed advisories and exercise caution.
