Nepal’s first network arch bridge to come into operation before Dashain

Nepal’s first network arch bridge under construction in Bijulibazaar, Kathmandu.

Kathmandu, August 12

Road officials say they have expedited the construction of Nepal’s first network arch bridge with an objective of making it ready for operation by Dashain festival in October.

Chief of the Kathmandu Valley Road Expansion Project, Deepak KC, says works on one side of the bridge over Dhobikhola River in Anamnagar is about to complete within weeks and works on the other side will begin immediately after that.

All electricity wires have been covered underground on the other side so that the deadline could be met, according to him.

The Project is constructing two of such bridges in Kathmandu. The second bridge will be constructed over Bagmati River in Tinkune.

KC claims the Board chose this design as it is more beautiful and stronger than traditional designs of bridges.
