'''90 Feet Road''' is the southern segment of the [[Srinagar-Leh Highway]] ([[NH 1D|National Highway 1D]]), which connects [[Srinagar]] with [[Ladakh]].<ref name="wikimapia">{{cite web|url=http://www.wikimapia.org|title=wikimapia|publisher=wikimapia.org|access-date=2014-08-07}}</ref> The 90 Feet Road begins in [[Soura]], Srinagar, about 11.1&nbsp;km north of the commercial centre of [[Lal Chowk]].<ref name="distancebetween">{{cite web|url=http://www.distancebetween.com|title=distancebetween.com: The Leading Distance Between Site on the Net|publisher=distancebetween.com|access-date=2014-08-07}}</ref> It extends north for {{convert|7|km|mi|spell=in}} and ends at Pandach, [[Ganderbal]]. Thereafter, NH 1D turns eastward toward Leh.<br />
<br />
Its name reflects the fact that it is {{convert|90|ft|m}} wide throughout. Locals call it '''Nammath''', which is "ninety" in the [[Kashmiri language]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The road was built in the early 21st century by clearing the existing clay dunes. It is considered one of the most prestigious roads in the city.<br />
<br />
In the neighborhood of Wontabowan, east of the 90 Feet Road,<ref>http://www.wikimapia.org/</ref> is Awanta Bhawan, a historical site built by Queen Amrita Prabha, whose husband, Meghwahana, was one of the [[Buddhism in Kashmir|Buddhist kings of Kashmir]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ikashmir.net | title=Awanta Bhawan | access-date=7 August 2014}}</ref> The 90 Feet Road speeds access for [[Ganderbal]] residents to medical care, such as at the [[Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences]].<br />
<br />
==Other such roads==<br />
The name "90 Feet Road" is not unique to Srinagar; India has several other roads by the same name, such as one in the [[Dharavi]] neighborhood of [[Mumbai]].<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=90+Feet+Road+India Google search for "90 Feet Road]"</ref><br />
