New Krishnabhir track set to reopen for traffic on Sept 17
Summary
Regular traffic through the new emergency track at Krishnabhir on the Prithvi Highway is expected to resume from September 17 if no further landslides occur. The 300-metre section has reached its final stage after a successful trial run, but officials say the road remains closed until finishing work is completed.
Key Points
- Traffic through the newly built 300-metre emergency track at Krishnabhir is expected to resume on September 17 if the weather remains stable.
- The track was built after a landslide completely blocked the Prithvi Highway, and trial vehicle movement was carried out for testing.
- Construction is in its final stage, with gravelling, slope cutting, drain installation and road levelling still underway.
- Officials warn the section remains risky and reopening could be delayed if more landslides occur.
