"Srinagar-Jammu National Highway has been thrown open for traffic this morning after the muck left behind by the landslides was cleared off," an official of the Traffic Control Room said.
He said one-way traffic from Jammu towards Srinagar was plying on the highway.
"No vehicle will be allowed to ply on the opposite direction on the highway," the official said.
Landslides occurred at some places between Ramban and Panthal areas along the nearly 300-km long highway on Monday due to rains, forcing the closure of the road.
