The project also maintains vital infrastructure in the remote areas of Sumna, Rimkhim and Lapthal near the line of actual control between India and China.

[9] During the 2012 Himalayan flash floods, due to a cloud burst in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, a national highway suffered extensive damage which cut lines of communication in the Dharasu-Gangotri route.

Major damages occurred in Raini village where a glacial lake outburst flood in the Rishiganga river had washed away a 90 metres (0.056 mi) bridge which was the only connection to Niti valley.

The project deployed engineers and troops who constructed a 200 metres (0.12 mi) long bailey bridge restoring connectivity in record time.

[13] In May 2023, the project was lauded by the Minister of State for Defence Ajay Bhatt for its remarkable achievements in building road infrastructure and facilitating tourism.
