Project officer Varun Chari has informed that the most difficult task in this entire project was the construction work from Pandoh to Aut, where Beas river was on one side and steep mountains were present on the other side. Officials have said that this work took a long time. Here the road has been made by making a flyover over the road. At the same time, it is a landslide prone area, while the mountain keeps cracking at any time, due to which the highway has been constructed keeping all the standards in mind.
