Tribhuvan Rajpath Becomes Key Alternative Route to Kathmandu Amidst Road Blockades
Summary
The Tribhuvan Rajpath has become the main alternative route to Kathmandu after continuous rain blocked the Prithvi Highway and Kanti Highway. Makwanpur administration has set a timetable for vehicle movement and banned heavy trucks on the narrow road to reduce congestion and risk.
Key Points
- The Tribhuvan Rajpath is being used as the main alternative route to and from Kathmandu after rain blocked the Prithvi Highway and Kanti Highway.
- Makwanpur's District Administration Office has introduced separate time slots for vehicles traveling between Hetauda and Kathmandu.
- Heavy vehicles over 10 wheels and 15 tons, except fuel and LPG tankers, are barred from the route until further notice.
- Rising water levels in the Kulekhani reservoir have also forced the closure of the Deurali-Sisneri road section, increasing dependence on the Tribhuvan Rajpath.
