Vehicles cross Krishnabhir on Sunday in trial run after 11 days
Summary
Vehicles crossed Krishnabhir on the Prithvi Highway in a trial run on Sunday, 11 days after restoration work began on the landslide-prone section. Officials said regular two-way traffic could resume from Thursday if no further problems arise.
Key Points
- Around 20 vehicles, including a gas tanker and heavy freight trucks, were allowed to pass on a temporary track in a trial run.
- The route is still not ready for regular traffic, and further grading and improvement work is ongoing.
- The Department of Roads has deployed technical teams to restore the damaged section washed away by flooding in the Trishuli river on August 26.
- Officials expect two-way traffic could reopen from Thursday if the track remains safe.
