Bailey bridge planned at flood-damaged Arughat crossing

A 22-metre section of the bridge was washed away by the Budhi Gandaki flood on Sunday, halting traffic between Gorkha and Dhading. Authorities aim to complete the temporary crossing within 10 days.

Preparations are underway to install a Bailey bridge at Arughat, which connects Gorkha and Dhading districts, after flooding in the Budhigandaki river damaged the existing structure.
