KATHMANDU, JULY 6

Traffic has resumed along the Nala-Bhaktapur road section after a two-day disruption caused by the collapse of a bridge at the border of Banepa Municipality Wards 1 and 4.

The District Traffic Office, Banepa, said a temporary bridge using six hume pipes has been constructed in coordination with Banepa Municipality and the Department of Roads.

The bridge, originally built in 2037 BS, serves as part of an alternative route connecting eastern Nepal to Kathmandu via Chyamasing, Bhaktapur, and Nala, Kavrepalanchowk, especially during the ongoing road widening along the Araniko Highway.
