Vehicular movement has been obstructed at the border of Dhunibensi Municipality and Thakre Rural Municipality in Dhading district along the Prithvi Highway after a motorable bridge over Ganeshkhola(rivulet) caved-in this afternoon.
A part of the bridge towards Dhunibensi had collapsed earlier today following continuous rain.
Though one-way traffic was opened for some time, the vehicles have completely remained off the road from 4:00 pm after a large section of the bridge was damaged, Information Officer of District Police Office, Dhading, SantuLal Prasad Jaisawal said.
The road project had started the construction of a new bridge since the past next to the existing bridge.
Small vehicles have been sent to their destination by using a makeshift road after the disruption in the highway. However, it could take some more time for the passage of the big vehicles, Jaisawal said.
Likewise, the traffic police has urged the motorists to drive along the Hetauda-Kathmandu and Kathmandu-Nuwakot-Galchhi road section to avoid the obstruction.
