Mid-Hill Highway: Three motorable bridges constructed in Kaski

POKHARA: Three concrete motorable bridges have been completed and brought into operation along the Kaski section of the national pride project Pushpalal (Mid-Hill) Highway, easing long-standing traffic problems caused by narrow bridges on widened road sections.

Engineer Ujjwal Sharma, information officer at the Pushpalal (Mid-Hill) Highway Planning Office in Parbat, said two bridges have been constructed over Yamdi Khola in Pokhara Metropolitan City-1 and another at Panibihad near Ghattekhola in Annapurna Rural Municipality.

The two new bridges at Yamdi Khola, constructed on either side of the existing bridge, are each 52 metres long. The bridge at Panibihad is 124 metres long, according to Sharma.
