The army had started installing the ‘bailey bridge’ from October 14 after the flood in the Budhigandaki river on October 16 swept away the section of the concrete bridge on the Gorkha side. The local people have praised the army for installing a bailey bridge on the section in two days and facilitating the operation of traffic.

With the installation of the bailey bridge which is 27.43 meters long and 4.2 meters wide, the people of Dhading and Gorkha have been able to travel easily.TAG_OPEN_div_11
