Dehradun is all set to become home to India’s longest ropeway that will connect the city with Mussoorie, a beautiful hill station in Uttrakhand.
1.
The ropeway work has already begun by Mussoorie Sky Car Company Pvt. Ltd., a consortium led by FIL Industries Private Ltd and comprising POMA SAS France and SRM Engineering LLP.
2.
Touted as India’s longest ropeway system with a length of over 5.5 km, it will be a mono-cable ropeway.
3.
The Dehradun-Mussoorie ropeway project will be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 300 crore.
4.
The 5.5-km-long ropeway project is being built in two phases. Phase 1 of the Dehradun-Mussoorie ropeway project is expected to be completed by September 2026.
5.
It will cut down the travel time drastically to just 15 minutes. As of now, it takes around 1.5 to 3 hours (depending on traffic), to cover a distance of about 33 km between the two destinations.
6.
It will be the first time in India that a ropeway will feature 10-seater cabins.
7.
All cabins will be enclosed, fully ventilated, glazed and will have automatic opening and closing doors. These cabins will initially have the capacity for 1300 passengers in an hour for each direction.
8.
It will be an all-weather ropeway that will operate throughout the year. Be it rain or snow, it will be operational all the time.
9.
This ropeway is going to be a path breaking achievement as it will reduce traffic congestion in the region considerably, especially during peak seasons.
10.
This is the first ropeway in India, which is being built both for tourism purposes as well as for urban mobility between the two cities in Uttarakhand.
