DHARAMSALA: Designated as a smart city in 2016, Dharamshala has several ambitious infrastructure projects to enhance urban mobility and reduce traffic congestion that are now in the final stages. One of these major initiatives, however, includes the development of “smart roads,” which include road widening, pavement construction, underground utility ducts and smart lighting. The project initially focused on major roads, then expanded to nearby residential and commercial areas to further improve traffic flow.
