Gorusinge-Sandhikharka road to be closed for nine hours a day

Argakhanchi–The Gorusinge-Sandhikharka road, the major road that links Arghakhanchi to the East-West Highway, is to remain closed for nine hours each day beginning from today. This system would be in place until March 28.

The eight kilometres road from Sandhikharka to Bhuwanpata will see no operation of vehicles for nine hours for upgrading works.

An all-party meeting held at the District Administrative Office, Arghakhanchi earlier agreed to go with a road improvement project, bearing in mind congested turning point and increasing traffic flow here.

The road will be closed in two shifts: from 7:00 am to 12:00 noon and from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, Chief District Officer Bijay Raj Poudel said.

The road section is known as a 'danger zone' due to the numerous bends and narrow passages. It will be of two-lane after the upgrading.

Sandhikharka-Saljhandi, Ghumti-Tansen and Dhanchaur-Amrai routes are to be used as alternative routes during the closure of Gorusinghe-Sandhikharka road section.
