- Flooding washed away four kilometres of the 10-kilometre road between Trishuli Bazaar and Betrawati Bazaar in Nuwakot.
- The remaining six kilometres may reopen after officials clear debris.
- Nepal’s Department of Roads is preparing a Bailey bridge in Betrawati to reconnect the route with the Rasuwa national highway.
The Trishuli River has erased four kilometres of the road linking Trishuli Bazaar and Betrawati Bazaar in Nepal’s Nuwakot district.
Technical officials from the Department of Roads inspected the 10-kilometre section on foot. They found that about six kilometres remained usable and could reopen once debris is cleared.
The department is identifying a site in Betrawati for a Bailey bridge. Installing the temporary bridge would reconnect the road to the Rasuwa national highway.
Rasuwa remains accessible through an alternative route, but travel is difficult. About 40 kilometres of road have been completely washed away in Rasuwa alone, while the Betrawati-Rasuwagadhi road has suffered extensive damage.
