The construction work for the much-awaited 13.79 km-long-ropeway in Shimla will begin in Sep 2024. It will be the second longest in the world after La Paz in Bolivia, aimed to decongest the state capital-cum-tourist-hotspot.
It will have 13 boarding stations and one turning station 9where cabins are transferred from one cable loop to the other). The boarding stations will be :-
* Taradevi
* Judicial Complex Chakkar
* Tuti Kandi parking
* New ISBT Railway Station
* Old ISBT
* Lift
* Secretariat
* Navbahar
* Sanjauli
* IGMC
* Ice Skating Ring
* Hotel Cecil
* And turning station at Victory Tunnel.
This project will have three lines viz., Monal, Deodar Cedar and Apple.
The project at an estimated cost of Rs.1,550 crores, once completed will provide an eco-friendly, affordable, green, safe mode of transportation and enhance the ease of living and tourism to Shimla, known as "Queen of Hills".
* Will be completed in 2029
* The ropeway will have a capacity of airlifting 3,000 persons per hour per direction (PPHD) with 10- person sitting capacity in each cabin.
* The project will cover 76 km of the road network.
