The Jaglot–Skardu Road (JSR) has been reopened for all categories of traffic after the successful restoration of the temporary bridge at Sassi Haramosh, which was damaged due to recent flood-related impacts.
The reopening marks a significant development for the region, as the road serves as a crucial transportation route connecting Gilgit with Skardu and surrounding areas of Gilgit-Baltistan.
The restoration of the bridge has brought much-needed relief to local communities, tourists, and transport operators who were facing difficulties due to disrupted travel.
The road’s reopening is expected to improve the movement of essential supplies, facilitate tourism activities, and restore smoother connectivity between the two major destinations.
To ensure safe and organized traffic flow, Gilgit-Baltistan Police personnel have been deployed at the site to monitor vehicle movement and assist travelers crossing the restored bridge.
Authorities are closely observing the situation and have urged drivers and passengers to remain cautious while traveling through the area.
Travelers planning to use the Jaglot–Skardu Road are advised to follow safety guidelines, cooperate with traffic officials, and check updated road conditions before starting their journey, especially due to the possibility of changing weather and terrain conditions in the mountainous region.
