Transport service has fully resumed along the BP Highway from Wednesday, the Road Division Office, Bhaktapur stated.
The Office had banned the operation of vehicles for 10 hours in the night time since October 16, citing possibility of dry landslide and ongoing maintenance drive in the stretch of around eight kilometer along the highway.
Vehicular movement was halted from 6:00 pm to 4:00 am at Dhulikhel-Bhakundebesi-Barkhekhola section along the BP Highway after the recent landslide and flooding damaged the highway.
Passenger buses, which have taken permits for their service along the route as well as light vehicles, were brought into operation by constructing an alternative track. The landslides and flood in late September had washed away more than eight kilometers of road at different places in the Bhakundebesi-Chaukidanda-Barkhekhola section towards Kavre.
Thousands of vehicles use this route everyday as it is the shortest distance to connect eastern Nepal with the federal capital, Kathmandu. -- RSS
