Mahato said that the construction company can complete the main work within the deadline and complete all the work of the road by July 2084 by adding some time for the remaining work. Although the work of expanding the road from Suryabinayak to Dhulikhel has gained momentum since last month, there are some problems in the operation of traffic due to the lack of bridges over Jagati Khola, Mahadev Khola and Punyamata Khola under the highway. As cargo vehicles ply at night in these places, there are potholes and traffic jams at the places where the bridges are constructed.TAG_OPEN_div_19
