Temporary track opens on Galchhi-Betrawati road after floods

A temporary vehicular track is now operational along the Galchhi-Betrawati road section in Rasuwa following significant disruption caused by recent flooding. Infrastructure Development Minister Sunil Lamsal reported that the clearance has allowed officials to accelerate logistical preparations for the installation of a bailey bridge at the site. Transport links with Rasuwa were severely severed when floodwaters damaged local infrastructure. With the new track now open, heavy vehicles can transport necessary construction materials directly to the installation area, enabling engineers to proceed with assembling the bridge foundations. Minister Lamsal noted that authorities are pursuing immediate traffic restoration and permanent infrastructure repairs concurrently. Once the bailey bridge installation finishes, the primary transport corridor to Rasuwa will reopen, easing transit for residents and freight operators. The disruption had previously isolated sections of the district, complicating local movement and the delivery of supplies. Officials anticipate that completing the bridge project will normalize traffic flow across the vital regional transport link.
