Vehicles using Tribhuvan Highway given time slots
Summary
Time slots have been fixed for vehicles travelling between Hetauda and Kathmandu via the Tribhuvan Highway to ease congestion after heavy rainfall blocked the Prithvi and Kanti highways. Cargo vehicles over 10 wheels are banned, while passenger vehicles longer than 11 metres are restricted.
Key Points
- The District Administration Office, Makawanpur, has fixed operating hours for vehicles on the Tribhuvan Highway to manage traffic pressure between Hetauda and Kathmandu.
- The restrictions were introduced after continuous heavy rainfall blocked the Prithvi Highway and Kanti Highway, diverting more traffic to the route.
- Cargo vehicles longer than 10 wheels and carrying more than 15 tonnes are barred, except fuel and LPG carriers.
- Passenger vehicles up to 11 metres in length are allowed, and officials have urged travel only during the designated time slots.
