Pokhara Lekhnath Road Expansion Enhances Appearance and Safety

Pokhara. The Lekhnath road section along the Prithvi Highway is appearing in a new form with its expansion. Under the Mugling-Pokhara road expansion project, lane marking, road signs, painting, dividers, safety bars, and beautification work are currently underway. To make the road safe and organized, lane marking, zebra crossing, traffic signboards, and road safety structures have been constructed and installed. The painting and beautification of various road structures have also made the road scene in the Lekhnath area attractive. Under the Mugling-Pokhara road expansion project, the construction of approximately 41 kilometers of the Abukhaireni-Jamune road section and approximately 38.71 kilometers of the Jamune-Pokhara Seti Bridge road section has been completed. Along with the expansion, blacktopping, drainage, service lanes, dividers, and road safety structures have been constructed. The Mugling-Pokhara road is an important section of the Prithvi Highway. With the road expansion, it is expected that travel between Kathmandu and Pokhara will become easier, safer, and more organized. Arjun Gaha/Nepal Photo Library
