The Badrinath National Highway will remain closed between Nandprayag and Chamoli for the next 15 days to facilitate the construction of a section of the chardham all-weather road, officials said Saturday.

The stretch has been closed at the request of authorities engaged in the construction of the all-weather road, an official release here said.

The temporary closure of the road was necessary to facilitate cutting of hard rocks along the route, it said.
