BP Highway reopens after five-day disruption
Summary
The BP Highway reopened on Tuesday morning after floods from heavy rain blocked the route for five days and disrupted traffic between Bhakundebesi in Kavre and Sindhuli. Flooding in the Roshi river damaged road sections and forced vehicles onto a temporary track before traffic shifted to a permanent track under construction.
Key Points
- The BP Highway reopened Tuesday morning after being blocked for five days by floodwaters from heavy rain.
- Flooding in the Roshi river had blocked the road at eight locations between Bhakundebesi in Kavre and Sindhuli.
- Traffic was diverted to a temporary track along the Roshi river bed after the highway's permanent structure was damaged.
- Authorities have halted construction work for now because the river is still carrying a high volume of water.
