Mahakali bridge work hits snag due to lack of construction materials

To keep the Mahakali river on course, around 5.5 km-long embankment needs to be constructed for which large rocks are needed, project officials say.

The construction of a four-lane bridge over Mahakali River in Kanchanpur district connecting Dodhara Chandani Municipality with Bhimdatta Municipality is almost complete but the project has hit a snag. The work on the embankment ( guide bund ) of the river remains incomplete for a lack of large boulders needed for the construction, officials of the bridge project say.
