BP Highway Section to Open for Traffic by Mid-July

Kathmandu. Preparations are underway to open the Bhakundebesi-Nepalethok section of the BP Highway for traffic from the roadside by Asar 15 (mid-July), which was damaged by the devastating flood last Asar. The Road Division Bhaktapur is preparing to operate vehicles from the main under-construction road, considering the situation where the diversion from the river will cause problems during the rainy season.

According to Suman Yogesh, chief of the Road Division Bhaktapur, since the current diversion is being washed away and the road is being obstructed even with normal rainfall, work is being intensified to operate vehicles from the upper part before the rainy season. He stated that their main goal is to operate traffic through permanent structures, not through diversions from the river during the rainy season. According to him, important structures will be completed by the end of Jestha, and vehicles will be running from the side of the main road structure from Asar.
