Raised in Jan 1975 due to ever increasing work load of BRO in Jammu region, the Project has grown from strength to strength and the work load has increased from 843 Km of roads in 1975 to 2310 Km of roads and 145 Km of Ditch Cum Bund in 2000-01.

            The Project has so far completed 2146 Km equivalent Cl-9 of formation cutting, 2078 Km of surfacing, 3457 Km of periodic renewal of road surface, 35 major permanent bridges, strengthening and overlaying of Pathankot and Agra air fields and Rajouri Air Strip. 

Other major achievements of the Project are construction of Roads Budhil-Mohr-Gul, Basoli-Bani-Bhaderwah, Nagrota By Pass; strengthening and improvement to NH double lane specification of the Roads Jammu-Rajouri-Poonch, Chakki-Dhar-Udhampur, Rajouri-Kandi-Budhil-Mohr-Gul. 

The Project has been assigned the task of four laning of National Highway Pathankot-Jammu and is thus the first Project of BRO to be selected to participate in the  development of the North-South corridor, the ambitious plan of the Prime Minister.

The Project has rendered yeomen service in providing effective communication in militancy affected areas near the Line of Control and turbulent International Borders. Acts of militants aided and abetted from across the border and enemy shelling have failed to dampen the spirit of the daredevils of SAMPARK.
