Banihal Qazigund Road Tunnel is a 8.45-kilometre-long (5.25 mi) road tunnel connecting Banihal and Qazigund, thus helping in bypassing the Banihal Pass in the Pir Panjal mountain range in lower Himalayas. It is a Twin-Tube tunnel, carrying four lanes of National Highway 44 at an elevation of 1,790 m (5,870 ft). It also reduces the travel time between the cities of Srinagar and Jammu from 6 hours to 5.5 hours.
