BP Highway Traffic Management Implemented Due to Landslide
Summary
Traffic on the BP Highway has increased after a flood blocked the Prithvi Highway at Krishnabhir, prompting rotational traffic management and night-only movement for freight vehicles. Authorities have also set a 10-ton weight limit and ordered immediate road improvement work at high-risk points.
Key Points
- The District Administration Office Kavrepalanchok has introduced rotational traffic management on the BP Highway after congestion rose due to the blocked Prithvi Highway.
- Freight vehicles will operate only at night, and vehicles weighing more than 10 tons will not be allowed because of the highway’s condition.
- Large freight vehicles, including gas bullets, will move on the Dhulikhel-Bhakunde section only with security personnel present.
- The Division Road Office Bhaktapur will urgently improve narrow turns and other accident-prone points along the highway.
