BP Highway Reopens After Three-Day Closure Due to Flooding

Kathmandu. The BP Highway, which had been obstructed since Saturday evening, has reopened. It took three days to repair the highway, which was blocked after floods in the Roshi River washed away diversions at various locations. 

The road division office stated that vehicular movement resumed from 3:30 PM on Monday. The floods had washed away diversions in areas including Chaukidanda, Ghumaine, Charasay Besi, Gimdi Besi, Narke, Chiuribas, Bokshikuna, Kaladhunga, Dalabeshi, Buldhunga, and Mamti, as well as in the Aaphghari and Nepalthok areas on the Sindhuli side.

The damaged diversions have been repaired and traffic has been restored through the coordination of the road division office and the contractor company. For now, diversions have been temporarily constructed along the banks of the Roshi River to allow vehicles to pass.
