A 100-metre alternative track has opened at Parewa Bhir in Gajuri Rural Municipality-3 of Dhading, allowing traffic to resume along the Prithvi Highway.
The original road subsided after flooding in the Trishuli River caused erosion, bringing traffic to a complete halt. The District Police Office in Dhading said vehicles were now operating normally on the temporary route, but warned that travel remained risky.
Traffic had earlier been disrupted at Krishnabhir after further flood damage to the highway. Vehicles traveling between Kathmandu and other areas have been using three alternative routes from Narayangadh in Chitwan through Hetauda to Kathmandu.
