डेढगाउँ जोड्ने कालीगण्डकीको पुल सञ्चालन
DAMAULI (TANAHU), Oct 15:
The concrete bridge connecting Ghiring and Dedhagaon, whose approach roads were washed away by floods in the Kali Gandaki River, has resumed operation after 18 days.
The approach roads on both sides of the concrete bridge over the Kali Gandaki River—connecting Ghiring Rural Municipality in Tanahu and Dedhagaon of Boudikali Rural Municipality in Nawalpur—were washed away by the floods on Ashwin 11.
While the temporary approach road on the Nawalpur side was constructed last week, the work on the Tanahu side was completed on Wednesday. With the construction of approach roads on both sides, vehicles have resumed operation across the Kali Gandaki bridge starting Wednesday, according to Ghiring Rural Municipality Chairman Hom Bahadur Thapa.
The repair work for the approach road on the Ghiring side was executed by Siddhababa Construction Service, Syangja, through a unit-rate agreement with financial and technical support from the Road Division Office, Tanahu. With the reopening of the bridge, movement from Ghiring through the Kali Gandaki Corridor to places like Nawalpur, Palpa, Syangja, and Chitwan has been facilitated, bringing much-needed relief to local citizens, passengers, and freight transport during the Dashain festival.
Constructed about 12 years ago, this iron bridge lies close to the Kali Gandaki Corridor connecting Gaindakot-Pipaldanda. Serving as a major transit route for people traveling between Pokhara, Gaindakot, and Rampur, thousands of passengers and hundreds of vehicles had been stranded due to the disruption of the bridge’s approach road.
