National Highway 1 (NH 1) is a National Highway in North India that connects theKashmir valley to Leh. The western terminal is in Uri in Jammu & Kashmir and the eastern terminal is in Leh. Stretches of NH 1 run through some extremely treacherous terrainand shut-offs because of avalanches orlandslides are common in Winter months. The famous Jawahar Tunnel that connects Jammu with the Kashmir Valley across the Pir Panjal Range falls en route. An all-weather alternate road project that will cut short the distance between the two cities by 82 km (51 mi) and the travel time by two-thirds is currently being considered. Source: Wikipedia
