Alternative route closure in Dhading
The route was opened for traffic after the concrete bridge at Furkhekhola, in Gajuri Rural Municipality-2, was swept away by flooding in the Bhote Koshi on Bhadra 10.
The five-hour closure is intended to allow maintenance work along the road used as an alternative connection on the Prithvi Highway.
