The Nepal Construction Entrepreneurs Federation has completed a 268-metre suspension bridge over the Trishuli River in Nuwakot within one month, re-establishing a direct connection between Trishuli Bazaar and Dhunge Bazaar after floods swept away the previous bridge at the site on Bhadra 10. The new crossing is intended to ease daily life in the area and is set to come into full operation from the following day.
A new connection across the Trishuli
The bridge links the two bazaars directly across the river. Its completion restores the crossing that had been lost when the earlier suspension bridge was swept away by the devastating floods of Bhadra 10. The Nepal Construction Entrepreneurs Federation carried out the construction and completed the 268-metre structure within a month.
The federation’s work has provided a replacement at the same site where the previous bridge was destroyed. With the bridge set to enter full operation the next day, residents and other people using the route are expected to regain a direct link between Trishuli Bazaar and Dhunge Bazaar. The stated purpose of the new crossing is to make daily life easier after the disaster.
Replacement after flood damage
The loss of the earlier bridge left the direct connection between the two bazaars disrupted. The floods that swept it away damaged a route that had connected the settlements across the Trishuli River. The newly completed bridge restores that connection, with its 268-metre span providing the crossing between the two locations.
The construction was completed within one month, allowing the replacement bridge to be prepared for operation after the flood damage. The available information identifies the federation as the builder and gives the bridge’s length, location and the two bazaars it connects. It does not specify the construction cost, the materials used or the number of people expected to use the crossing.
Full operation expected the following day
The bridge is scheduled to come into full operation from the day after its completion was reported. That timing will bring the restored connection into use for people travelling between Trishuli Bazaar and Dhunge Bazaar. The federation’s stated objective is to ease daily life in the area following the disaster.
The project marks the replacement of a crossing lost in the Bhadra 10 floods with a new suspension bridge over the same river. At 268 metres, it reconnects the two bazaars and provides a direct route across the Trishuli. The bridge’s completion within a month means the replacement was built in a relatively short period after the previous structure was swept away, while full operation is expected to begin the next day.
