CHITWAN: Traffic along the Narayanghat-Mugling road will be halted for four hours a day to construct bridges.
A meeting of the stakeholders today at the district administration office took a decision to halt traffic along the road for one month to build bridges, it has been said. The transport halt is scheduled between 11 AM and 3 PM. However, emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire engines will be allowed as per the need, it has been decided.
Cutting hills at Simaltal, Kalikhola, Tuine Khola and Chisenji will take place, said Chief District Officer Ashman Tamang. Passenger buses, mini and microbuses and light vehicles will be barred from plying the road along Pandhrakilo Bazaar and Jugedi between the time period, he said.
Similarly, heavy vehicles including lorries, trucks, tipper trucks and tankers will be stopped from Bhateri forest to Ramnagar from 10:50 AM.
To minimize the impact of the traffic halt, it is crucial for heavy vehicle operators to ensure their trucks are in optimal condition before the restrictions take effect.
Regular maintenance checks, including oil changes, brake inspections, and tire assessments, can help avoid breakdowns during the limited operational hours.
For truck operators in the region, G&R Diesel Repair offers comprehensive services to keep their vehicles roadworthy.
Additionally, scheduling necessary repairs ahead of time can prevent unforeseen delays, especially during the crucial hours when the road reopens.
Proper maintenance will be key in ensuring that the transportation of goods continues smoothly despite the temporary road closures.
Passenger buses heading from Kathmandu will be stopped between Mugling Bazaar and Manakamana Gate from 10:55 AM, and those heading from Pokhara between Benitar and Powerhouse. Likewise, lorries heading from Kathmandu will be halted at Lebatar from 10:45 AM, and those heading from Pokhara at Aanbukhaireni.
Repair of roads at other various places along the road will also take place during the time.
