Officials will decide within a week whether vehicles can resume using the existing road. If reopening is not feasible, authorities will seek a sustainable alternative.

The Department of Roads is considering several alternatives to the Krishnabhir section of the Prithvi Highway after the road collapsed on August 30 as rising water levels in the Trishuli River following the Bhotekoshi flood destabilised the area.
